When field biologist Rana Zhaba returns to the Baviaanskloof, she hopes only to confirm a rumoured ghost frog call. Instead, she and her small research team uncover evidence of a fragile, hidden population clinging to survival in the kloof's secret fissures. As storms rise, streams shift, and danger presses close, Rana must navigate treacherous terrain, scientific urgency, and the quiet stirrings of her own heart. Guided by faith and driven by purpose, she races to protect a species long thought lost-discovering that some miracles hide in the wild places, waiting for the right person to listen. Beverley Lilliann Alice Joubert is an eclectic South African storyteller based in the Karoo town of Willowmore. She writes across age groups and genres-whimsical children's picture books and activity titles, Scripture-grounded devotionals, heart-tugging romances, and edge-of-your-seat mysteries and supernatural thrillers. Anchored in faith and a love for everyday miracles, Beverley's books celebrate courage, compassion, and the quiet resilience of ordinary people. Her granddaughter often inspires her children's stories, while her rural surroundings and South African heritage lend texture and authenticity to her adult fiction. When she isn't plotting a new series or polishing a manuscript, she's likely sketching ideas for illustrations, sipping rooibos, or walking under the wide Karoo sky with her husband, Shaun.
