The Upwelling

A CAPTIVATING YOUNG ADULT DEBUT FROM THE WINNER OF THE BLACK&WRITE! WRITING FELLOWSHIP

Kirra is having vivid dreams about terrible things – things that start to come true. When she goes for a surf on the same break that killed her older brother, she somehow slips into a time and place that’s completely different – but eerily familiar.
Tarni is the daughter of a renowned warrior, with a special gift. Somehow she can understand this visitor and her strange language, even when no-one else can.
Narn is preparing for an important ritual but is distracted by the girl who arrives with the dolphins. Why has Kirra been sent to this place? Is her arrival part of an ancient prophecy, like some believe?
When a shadow threatens all living things in the land, the three realise they have an important role to play, as do their newly discovered magical powers. Working together will be their only chance to save the world.
