A Malaysian folk tale comes to life in this emotionally layered, chilling middle grade debut, perfect for fans of The Book Boy and The Jumbies.

I am a dark spirit, the ghost announced grandly. I am your inheritance, your grandmother's legacy. I am yours to command.

Suraya is delighted when her witch grandmother gifts her a pelesit. She names her ghostly companion Pink, and the two quickly become inseparable. But Suraya doesn't know that pelesits have a dark side—and they are not above hurting others to ensure their master's happiness.

Pink never knew what true friendship was until he met Suraya. But when Suraya starts making human friends, Pink feels the sting of betrayal, and jealousy begins to overtake him.

Soon Pink's shadows threaten to consume them both, and Suraya and Pink must find enough light to survive before they are lost to the darkness.
