For generations, the people of Azure village have believed that the sacred baobab tree carries the prayers of those who seek children. But when the tree is destroyed and its roots scattered, an ancient connection is thought to have been lost forever. Years later, a strange girl named Zaram begins hearing a voice from the last surviving baobab. The villagers dismiss her as a mad girl and a bad omen, unaware that she carries a bloodline thought to have disappeared long ago. When Zaram is brought before the king, she makes a revelation that could change the fate of the entire kingdom. But proving the truth may cost her life—and force the people of Azure to confront a secret their ancestors tried to bury.
