In this sequel to Ride the Wind, we return to the outback of Western Australia and the unexpected reappearance of the wicked fairy, Alba. Once again, she will attempt to destroy the sisters, their horses, and the magic kingdom itself. Like the original story, this is a tale based on Aboriginal mythology. It combines elements of magical fantasy with factual details regarding the beliefs and culture of Australia's Indigenous people and their use and protection of the natural flora and fauna of their beautiful land. The storyline raises issues concerning the historic mistreatment of Aboriginal peoples during the British Empires colonial years. However, readers will find this an absorbing and uplifting novel, as they follow their favourite characters on a journey of discovery. The sisters are maturing into exceptional young women/riders, and Enzo is no longer a mere puppy and shows his true nature as he plays his part in family life. The Shaman and the fairies will be called upon to defeat Alba's evil schemes, but will their endeavours be triumphant this time? New, powerful magic will be required, and success or failure will hang in the balance.
