In “The Lost Elephant and the Soul Tree”, readers are swept into the heart of the forest, where a mischievous elephant calf named LG finds herself separated from her herd and thrust into a world brimming with danger, magic, and ancient lore. Captured and taken to an elephant camp, LG’s once carefree world is upended. But when whispers of a mystical legend reach her ears—the Soul Tree, a living portal to distant lands—hope begins to bloom. Guided by two wise old elephants and a mysterious tusker with a fierce spirit and a hidden tenderness, LG sets out on a daring journey home. Along the way, she must outwit prowling predators, cross roaring rivers, and uncover the deeper truths buried within the forest.

Drawn into the same enchanted forest, Bala encounters LG and a talking elephant who nudges him toward a profound transformation.
