Produktbeschreibung
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 people during the British Empire's 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.

Autorenporträt
Jennie Dodd was raised in the picturesque market town of Shrewsbury, famous for its medieval castle, steep narrow streets, little alleyways and timber framed buildings. Situated on the River Severn, the town nestles amongst the ancient Shropshire Hills of the Stiperstones, the Long Mynd, Wenlock Edge and the Wrekin. Educated at the Wakeman Grammar School, Jennie developed a keen interest in art, history and a love of English literature. In recent years, Jennie has developed a particular interest in Scottish history, mythology and folklore. Following a visit to Edinburgh's Surgeons' Hall Museum and observing the pocketbook made out of the skin of the infamous body snatcher William Burke, ideas for the storyline behind this novel quickly followed. Issues are raised about the effects life experiences have upon the formation of a person's character. Can extreme poverty cause a person to act in ways which contradict their own nature? Can it drive them to break the law, and even commit murder?
