The Cry of the Kestrel. Island of Forgotten Fire, #1

Island of Forgotten Fire: Book 1 - The Cry of the Kestrelby Brinda PhokeerdassOn the ancient island of Mauritius, where spirits sleep beneath stone circles and forgotten flames stir beneath the earth, sixteen-year-old Anaya's quiet life is shattered when she awakens powers tied to the island's primal heart. Chosen by the restless winds and ancient guardians, she must embark on a perilous quest across jungles, mountains, and storm-lashed shores to unite sacred relics before a dark force claims them.
But Kael Morven, an exiled ranger turned warlord, has his own vision for the island's future - one forged in fire and ash. As his army marches and old wards fail, Anaya and her friends are drawn into a battle not just for their home, but for the soul of Mauritius itself. With ancient powers rising, loyalties tested, and the island's fate hanging in the balance, Anaya must find the strength to face the storm - or see her world burn.
The cry has been heard. The island will awaken. And nothing will ever be the same.
