'Kirra is having vivid dreams about terrible things - things that start to come true. When she goes for a surf on the same break that killed her older brother, she somehow slips into a time and place that's completely different - but eerily familiar.
'Tarni is the daughter of a renowned warrior, with a special gift. Somehow she can understand this visitor and her strange language, even when no-one else can.
'Narn is preparing for an important ritual but is distracted by the girl who arrives with the dolphins. Why has Kirra been sent to this place? Is her arrival part of an ancient prophecy, like some believe?
'When a shadow threatens all living things in the land, the three realise they have an important role to play, as do their newly discovered magical powers. Working together will be their only chance to save the world.' (Publication summary)
Author's note:
To my husband, Ray, who, in our twenty years of marriage, has always helped me turn impossible ideas into realities
And to my grandmothers: Nan (Anne with an 'e' Thompson, nee Rose), who gave me the love of reading, which led to writing; and Nanny (Marjorie Wallace), whom I followed as a two-year-old, eating oysters off the rocks like our ancestors did, where Yugambeh-speaking people once traded, danced and feasted
