The Trail of a Songbird

About the Book THE TRAIL OF A SONGBIRD IS A GRIPPING TALE OF LOVE, FRIENDSHIP, ADVENTURE AND THE JOURNEY TO FIND ONESELF. One night. One incident. And suddenly, Arjun is the most talked-about person on campus—for all the wrong reasons. The cruel whispers won’t stop. The silence in his room feels louder than ever. So when a girl he met on Instagram tells him to follow a mountain trail—promising healing—he does. The problem? His mysterious guide, Birdie, only speaks through hidden letters and the occasional Instagram text. As Arjun journeys through forests, valleys and hidden trails, he stumbles across a group of fellow hikers—each carrying their own emotional baggage. Among them is the last person he expected to see: Huntress, aka Anjali, his college crush. The trail begins to work its quiet magic, drawing Arjun and his group closer to healing. But questions persist: Who is Birdie? Will he ever meet her? And when the path splits, will he choose Huntress—the girl who stands beside him—or Birdie—the unseen stranger who was there for him when no one was?
