That is until she is abruptly summoned home in an\nemergency—her beloved older brother, Aaron, who is next in line to become the\nProtector of the Island, has vanished. And now back in Panang, she can’t\nhelp but notice that things don’t feel the same as they once did and it’s\nunclear if she’s changed, or the island.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nDespite her family’s desire to keep her close and the Council’s explicit\ninstructions to stay out of trouble, stubborn, self-sufficient Caroline is\nhell-bent on saving her brother with or without anyone’s help. But when it\nturns out that Aaron has been kidnapped and possessed by vengeful ghosts with a\ncenturies-old grudge, even Caroline must admit she’s in over her head and will\nneed the help of the friends she had abandoned, including her first love, J.J.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe ghosts’ goals are simple: break the barriers between the ghost and mortal\nrealms during the Hungry Ghost Festival using Aaron to take the island’s magic,\nand cement their rightful place as the true—albeit dead—rulers of the island.\nWith only seven days before the barrier weakens, Caroline is in a race against\ntime to save her brother. But as enemies stack up, always one step ahead,\nCaroline can’t help but wonder if she’s strong enough for this battle. Or is\nshe doomed to repeat the mistakes that sent her away all those years ago?\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPRODIGAL TIGER is a rich, cinematic celebration of Malaysian magic and\nfolklore, as well as an emotional exploration of never quite feeling like your\nwhole self after living in the diaspora.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TIMES DISTRIBUTION PTE LTD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44958593515727,"sku":"9798217238545","price":23.93,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/5662\/3823\/files\/download_5343c65a-c323-4d68-b4b6-716d8eeded4b.jpg?v=1774838414","url":"https:\/\/popular.com.sg\/products\/prodigal-tiger","provider":"Popular Book Company Pte Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
