Sobre IBD

The Sparrow grows up in Singapore in the late 1800s after her mother is killed in a shipboard mutiny. As a child, she was taken in by an elderly Chinese apothecary and his Malay wife. Now a young woman, a chance encounter with an American reporter, Benjamin T. Greaves, results in the Sparrow’s true identity as Samille Beauvoir Langley being uncovered. After Samille is reunited with her father in San Francisco, danger stalks family and friends alike. Does the unusual jade pendant handed down to Samille by her mother hold the key to her present danger? Her quest to save her family and friends takes her back to Singapore and from there to China, where love and a perilous search for treasure await her.
