Soon, a bigger problem rears its head. The princess hears whispers of exceptionally talented young girls across the world going missing. A young environmental scientist in Kenya, a French physics prodigy – the list of the missing keeps growing and growing.Symbiosis:The royal palace of Wakanda is one of, if not the most, secure facilities on this planet – or any other.

And as quickly as they broke in, they vanished. The search for this interloper, a mysterious “symbiote” with superhuman speed and strength, will lead Shuri to the Jabari Lands, a remote, unforgiving part of the country she has never seen.
