It is an ideal choice for the young reader who loves magic but also feels a deep sense of responsibility toward nature and the community. Through the lens of a vibrant, Bengali-inspired fantasy world, the story explores how individual actions impact the environment and why standing up for others is a necessary form of bravery. In this adventure, twins Kiya and Kinjal return to the Kingdom Beyond to save winged merpeople from toxic waters.
