A compelling adventure full of danger, betrayal and magic as three friends battle to save their friend Ayla from a terrible fate.… the dark edge to the story is quite masterfully done – even for the adult reader, there is a hint of the macabre! The supernatural element to this story was well presented; it was both intriguing and engaging. This story is also really well written from start to finish, and has an originality that sets it apart from the other fantasy stories- particularly with its links to Irish mythology and its links to contemporary Ireland
