Author Description

A forgotten map. A shattered pearl. A legend waiting to awaken. When five teens discover a message in a bottle on the shores of Mauritius, they are pulled into a centuries-old mystery surrounding a mythical pearl said to hold the soul of the island itself. But the pearl has been broken, its fragments scattered across sacred sites steeped in folklore-from the dream-laced waters of Grand Bassin to the haunted cliffs of Le Morne. Each shard reveals a riddle. Each step awakens ancient magic. And each teen-guided by a colored stone tied to their nation's flag-holds the key to restoring what was lost. But something else is stirring in the shadows. Something that remembers grief. And it wants the Pearl... for itself. The Pearl of Morne is a thrilling YA fantasy adventure inspired by the rich folklore, haunting history, and untamed beauty of Mauritius. Perfect for readers who love magical realism, ancient mysteries, and stories rooted in culture and courage. Where history meets legend, the island will rise to remember.
