From the publisher

Ever wondered if animals always had tails?Or, how they first started talking to us “ the superior” living being on earth?

There’s a story; wild and humbling that began in the sacred valley of Agastyadri Mountains, where a curious girl named Gavree learns the truth about the ancient exchange between humans and animals, and fights to save her land from darker days and even darker traditions.

This is Gavree’s story too. Before she became the fierce heir of the guarded Aga Desham, she was a curious child longing for answers. Gavree faces a dire choice as her village turns to a dangerous ritual to appease their goddess, Valli.Told through the voices of the author’s grandmother and Gavree herself, this tale of adventure and breaking boundaries blends magic, tradition, and drama.

With captivating illustrations, the book takes readers on a journey with Gavree as she wrestles with faith, fear, and destiny, discovering that true strength often begins with asking why.
