From one of the world's best-loved storytellers comes a magical novel of adventure and discovery.
Alexander Cold knows all too well his grandmother Kate is never far from an adventure.
When International Geographic commissions her to write an article about the first elephant-led safaris in Africa, the pair heads - with Nadia Santos and the magazine's photography crew - to the blazing red plains of Kenya. Days into the tour, a Catholic missionary approaches the camp in search of his companions, who have mysteriously disappeared. Kate, Alexander, Nadia and their team, agreeing to aid the rescue, enlist the help of a local pilot to lead them to the swampy forests of Ngoubé. There they discover a clan of Pygmies, who unveil a harsh and surprising world of corruption, slavery and poaching.
Alexander and Nadia, trusting in the magical strengths of Jaguar and Eagle, their totemic animal spirits, launch a spectacular and precarious struggle to restore freedom and return leadership to its rightful hands.
The final instalment of Isabel Allende's celebrated trilogy of the journeys of Jaguar and Eagle soars with radiant settings, spirits, beings - and the transformation of an extraordinary friendship.
