Description:
A MG fantasy which has the dark vibe of an Asian Grimm's Fairy Tale and the magic world building of SPIRITED AWAY set in a lush tropical Nusantara fairyland






Twelve-year-old Zarra Nuraman thinks her life is like a tragic fairy tale. Not only has she lost her parents and sister, she is forced to work for her aunt like a modern-day Cinderella. However, things get much worse when her baby cousin is kidnapped and taken to Kayangan - a magical world filled with the characters from the Malaysian folktales she grew up with. In this land where magic fairy coats and were-crocodiles exist, and where even saying the wrong thing can kill you, Zarra is being hunted by the evil Queen Zamrud. With the help of the Border Guardians, Khai and Amir, and a magic Bidari coat which can transport her anywhere she wants, Zarra has three days to rescue her cousin, and in the process discovers a secret about the world which changes her life.
