Description

In Gita Ralleigh’s second magical middle grade adventure set in a parallel colonial India, land-pirate Sam Singh sails to an isle teeming with spirits and secrets on a perilous journey to find the truth.

‘We are kings of the forest,
Let them tame us if they can!’

Sam’s older brother, Moon, has been missing for three long years. Moon is a skilled thief, but Sam fears Moon’s luck has finally run out. It’s rumoured he’s held in the Octopus, a notorious prison on the Isle of Lost Voices, from which no one has ever escaped alive. Leaving his tribe of land-pirates behind, Sam sets sail with the shady Professor Bogusz and his faithful parrot, Suka. With help from a young forest guide called Lola, they trek deep into the island’s interior, a place where spirits dwell and the Octopus casts a deadly shadow.

With a storm brewing and the clock ticking, Sam is in a race against time to break into the prison, save Moon and find a brighter future for them all.
