🎧 Official Episode Description – “Sixteen Feathers” (Scavengers Saga: Episode 1)
When Tlotlo Moyo, a laid-back teen from the West Rand, turns sixteen, his birthday gift isn’t cake — it’s wings. Born into the secret Vulture Tribe, he’s sent to the hidden Scavengers Academy, where shapeshifters train to keep the balance between life, death, and what comes after.
But on his first flight, Tlotlo discovers a silent corpse — a death with no echo, no flies, no sound. Something, or someone, is stealing endings from the earth. As his newfound powers awaken, he and his friends must face their fears, their laughter, and a threat that hunts silence itself.
A dark fantasy set in South Africa’s wild heart, “Sixteen Feathers” blends mystery, humour, and myth in an unforgettable beginning to the Scavengers Saga — where every death tells a story… unless it’s been stolen.
