'Sixteen-year-old Kit Campbell has disturbing visions. Following the death of his beloved great-grandfather, Kit learns that he’s been dreaming the old man’s memories and that he has been left a dangerous legacy, the role of Umlindi, Keeper of the Nzikazi Bowl. Kit discovers a hidden manuscript amongst his great-grandfather’s effects, and takes up the challenge to confront unknown and unimagined dangers in an ancient quest to prevent a cosmic catastrophe. Some unlikely allies join Kit on Bruny Island, off the coast of Tasmania, where he must face down his personal demons and outmanoeuvre Izinzondo Umnyama, The Black Hatred—age-old nemesis of the Keepers of the Nzikazi Bowl.'
