Synopsis & covers

Df1 Df2 Dfpa
"You were born with the yearning arrow, my Glynna. It is not a happy thing to possess...it points to the stars and when it cannot reach them it falls back to pierce your heart. Some rare few botn with it are destined to tread strange and dangerous paths. For them alone the arrow may bring understanding."

After the death of her parents and her beloved instructor, Wind, Glynn devotes herself to the care of her sick twin sister, feeling her own life to be unimportant. One night, during a midnight swim, she is swept across the Void to the troubled watery world of Keltor, through a portal created to summon the mythical Unraveller. What is the mysterious connection between Glynn's world and Keltor? And why does the man who rescued her from the waves bear an eerie resemblance to Wind?

Reviews / Recommendations: Darkfall review by Fate. A moonlit swim, an ancient prophecy: two triggers that begin Isobelle Carmody's 1997 novel Darkfall, and the series of events that befall Australian twins Glynn and Ember Flanders as they are each swept out of their world and into another. In this spellbinding first novel of the Legendsong Saga, Carmody has created a fantastical parallel world rife with all the politics and legend of our own... Read On... "Darkfall stands on its own as an absorbing, intriguing and powerful novel ... its sequels will be eagerly awaited. This new saga certainly looks to cement Isobelle Carmody's place as one of the most accomplished fantasy writers working today." ~ Australian Book Review Purchase Darkfall online:
