Description

Corazon, a young girl, yearns to train as a babaylan under her guardian Aunt Tina. Her goal is to awaken her magic and use it to bring her deceased parents back to life. However, her plans are disrupted when a vengeful ghost steals her soul key, which allows her to communicate with her parents' ghosts. To restore balance between the human and spirit world, Corazon must lay the ghost to rest by creating a new soul key. With the help of her gecko companion, Saso, she embarks on a quest through the spirit realms, racing against time before the ghost breaks through the spirit glass and all hope is lost. This standalone quest adventure, presented by Rick Riordan and written by Roshani Chokshi, pays tribute to Filipino mythology and showcases the magic and heart found in Chokshi's Aru Shah series.
