A story of rebels and queens fighting for freedom, and one girl's quest to find out who she really is. A mesmerising middle-grade Indian adventure. Rain maker, Storm-brewer, Song weaver, Flood-bringer, Crowner of Queens... In Moonlally, worship of the powerful Dark Goddess is forbidden. The monsoons have failed and life for the Blacktowners is hard. Fierce orphan girl Minou Moonshine lives with her grandmother on a makeshift barge in the shadow of the General's palace. When her beloved Dima is mysteriously murdered, Minou joins the secretive Green Orchids, rebels plotting to overthrow the despotic General and restore the rightful Queen of Moonlally. In the lush jungles, mountain villages and treetop temples of Indica, Minou begins a winding journey with her two friends and a mechanical elephant. Can Minou bring back the floods and the power of the Dark Goddess, as well as finding the queen and her place in the future of Moonlally? A debut rich in myth and legend, friendship, family and faith, and an original adventure that sparkles with storytelling magic.
