靈祭之日,森林中的老婦人來到阿貝妮的村莊,只留下恐怖預言——
「你們忽視了我的警告。來不及逃了。他們要來了。」
她不是來拯救村民,而是來帶走一名孩子作為多年守護的代價。當持著燃燒之刃的戰士闖入村莊、詛咒之笛奏起誘惑人心的旋律,阿貝妮所愛的一切被擄往遠方的幽靈船,航向未知彼岸。
唯有她逃脫——卻是被那老婦人帶進森林深處,開始一場她從未渴望的魔法學徒之路。
為了逃離女巫,為了帶族人回家,阿貝妮必須踏入靈界,結識神祕的靈童夥伴,對抗奴役她族人的邪惡巫祭司。
這是一段關於勇氣、友情與信念的永恆冒險——
一首唱給失去與希望的魔法之歌
Like a West African and African Diaspora-inspired Spirited Away, Abeni's Song follows a reluctant apprentice witch out of her village and into a world of spirits on a quest to save her friends. This is P. Djèlí Clark's kids' debut.
On the day of the spirits festival, the old woman who lives in the forest appears in Abeni's village with a terrible message:
You ignored my warnings. It's too late to run. They are coming.
The old woman hasn't come to save them, only to collect one child as payment for her years of service and protection. When warriors with burning blades storm the village and a man with a cursed flute plays an impossibly alluring song, everyone Abeni has ever known and loved is captured and marched toward far-off ghost ships set for even more distant lands.
But not Abeni. Abeni escapes the warriors in the clutches of the old woman, magically whisked into the forest away from all she's ever known. And there she begins her unwanted magical apprenticeship, her journey to escape the witch, and her impossible mission to bring her people home.
Abeni's Song is the beginning of a timeless, enchanting fantasy adventure about a reluctant apprentice, a team of spirit kids, and the town they set out to save from the evil Witch Priest who enslaved Abeni's people.
