"I have waited so long for you come, and now that you have opened your minds to me, you have put yourselves in great peril, for there is much evil as well as good in our twilight world..."
From the moment Livvy sees the island, she knows there is something wrong. A strange and menacing force beckons, drawing her and her brother Steve into a race against time. They are destined to fulfil an ancient quest to restore a magical cross to its rightful owner, but they must face the forces of unparalleled evil to do so.
This is a gripping adventure story which sweeps the reader from reality into the realms of fantasy and imagination.
