Heartstones

ALAEDORNIA

It's another world, vast beyond comprehension, and it exists right alongside our own. Amanda Hazel has known this since she was a child. She knows something else about it, too. It's dangerous. And she has been running away from it for years. All the way into adulthood. Now, well over a decade after her first encounter with Alaedornia, she has to go back.

It's not just for her own benefit that she must travel there again. She owes her cousin Thom, badly injured when they first opened the gateway to the otherworld, and now possessing a guide to Alaedornia and a possible way to its heart. To heal him they have to cross over and explore its mysteries and harness its ancient powers. It's the only way they might repair the damage that has been done.

To do that, Mandy has to surrender to the hex that took her as a child. She has to use her special talent. She has to collect the heartstones and open the gateway.

But it won't be easy. Others have designs and desires of their own in relation to the otherworld. Lives are at risk. Her cousins', her friends', her own.

Mandy has to get to Jago'd Pin, at the heart of Alaedornia, and there confront the biggest challenge of her life: her own destiny.
