The Brotherhood of the Conch Series

The Brotherhood of the Conch from award-winning author Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni is a fantasy series for young readers about two teenagers entrusted with a sacred object and a powerful responsibility.

On an epic journey from an impoverished neighborhood in India to the Silver Valley high in the Himalayas, Anand carries a conch imbued with magical energy. With his friend Nisha, they brave unknown frontiers to return the conch to its rightful place—and protect it from those who will stop at nothing to possess it.

“The teenagers must race against time to rescue the conch in a world where science is at war with magic and distrust rules the day. By reminding the many villains of the joys of love and fellowship, they just might succeed.”—Kirkus Reviews (on Shadowland)
