About this audiobook
++ A gripping science thriller about ethics, identity, and ancient knowledge ++
Outside a research institute, protesters accuse scientists of experimenting on children. Conspiracy theory—or a warning no one wants to hear?
Next door, five‑year‑old Lisa joins the institute’s open house. But days later, her mother Dyani faces hostility at a parent meeting. Lisa—the only child from an immigrant family—is suddenly labeled a problem. Tensions simmer beneath the surface.
Then Lisa begins to change. She speaks fragments of an ancient language. She wakes from dreams she can’t explain. And no doctor can tell her parents what’s happening.
What really occurred during the children’s visit? And what secrets lie hidden in the mysterious African stones they handled?
To save their daughter, Lisa’s parents must confront a truth far beyond anything they imagined—and make a choice that could change everything.
Bonus material: A companion booklet can be downloaded from the Authors' website.
