The iconic third book in Diana Wynne Jones' Dalemark quartet - perfect lovers of fantasy and magic
'I had not seen how they hated us till I heard them shout. It was terrible.'
Tanaqui and her family have always known they were somehow different from the other villagers. But when the great floods come and they are driven from their home, they begin to realise the part they must play in the destiny of the land.
As Tanaqui weaves the story of their frightening journey to the sea and the terrifying, powerful evil of the mage Kankredin, she realises the desperate need to understand the meaning of it all. Can she fit the pieces of the puzzle together in time to halt Kankredin's destruction?
