But as her rite of passage approaches and she is betrothed to an arrogant young man, Naborhi feels her dreams slipping away from her. Then Naborhi becomes bonded to a mysterious animal and begins having harrowing visions of a kidnapped boy. She soon meets Atai, the son of an Oracle from a rival queendom, and learns that she is being guided by the gods. She and Atai, along with Naborhi's eager-for-adventure cousin, Tamunor, set off across the continent to rescue the mysterious boy. But when they find him -- and find out his true identity -- Naborhi realizes there is more than just her freedom at stake: she must stop a war that has already been set in motion. 521 1 $a Ages 8-12. 650 0 $a Ability $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Missing persons $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Africa, West $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Folklore $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Fantasy fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20240601011920.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6522DE481FDC11EFB8681F7932ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
