When imagination becomes life

A tale of a mercurial teen who discovers who she is through a developing friendship with an enchanting demon

Zola Tapp, a curious and impulsive teen, has been sent to stay with her oddball relatives in rural Malaysia while her parents try to sort out their deteriorating relationship in the UK. On a pre-dinner exploration of her aunt and uncle's oil-palm plantation, Zola stumbles upon an injured boy. In a panic, she rushes to get help, but on return the body has vanished and the incident is blamed on her famed over-imagination. Zola then battles self-doubt and those out to deceive her as she sets out to discover what had happened to him. This starts a chain of events which results in her being drawn deeper into the Malaysian underworld and a sinister plot that tests her character and emotions to the extreme. Her healthy snarkiness towards vampires, zombies and the para-normal is also challenged when she meets Maya, an enchanting elfin demon with a secret past and mysterious abilities she must keep hidden from the rest of the world.

Zola forges a special bond with Maya and her aunt and uncle, whom she affectionately calls the Hamsters, to discover more about her own identity and the choices that define her. Together, they become enmeshed in a bitter fight to save the family estate from ruthless property developers, the heartless son of a triad leader and vicious thugs.
