Among the survivors is Wontumi, a 22-year-old Black man traveling alone on holiday. Quiet, observant, and initially dismissed by others, he is the only one who seems able to read the jungle: the sounds of animals, the language of rivers, the warnings hidden in wind and soil. While fear fractures the group and leadership is contested, Wontumi’s deep, inherited connection to nature slowly proves to be their greatest chance at survival.
As days pass, the jungle strips away civilization. Hunger, injury, predators, storms, and internal conflict claim lives. Each trial becomes a lesson: the forest punishes arrogance, rewards humility, and remembers every choice. When others doubt Wontumi—questioning his knowledge, his authority, even his humanity—the jungle answers brutally.
Through ancestral memories and instinct shaped by generations before him, Wontumi leads a small group forward while those who refuse to listen fall behind—sometimes forever. The survivors confront not only jaguars, rivers, and venomous creatures, but also guilt, fear, betrayal, and the uncomfortable truth that survival often demands moral courage as much as physical endurance.
In the final stages, the jungle delivers its ultimate judgment. Rescue arrives—but not before the survivors are forever changed by what they have witnessed, lost, and learned.
Instinct is a survival novel about memory, ancestry, leadership, and humility. It challenges modern assumptions about knowledge and power, revealing that the oldest wisdom is not taught in books—but carried in the body, passed down through blood, and awakened when the world falls apart.
Final line:
“The jungle saved us. I only remembered how to listen.”
