About the Book

"The clock continued to tick calmly in the hall, out of step with the stormy sea of panic surging inside Connie. She could make no sense of this. How had she ended up on the beach? She felt a hum in her bones as if she had been meeting with some powerful creature. But what beast or being had the power to draw her out of her house without her knowing about it? And what had happened when they were together?"

Thirteen-year-old Connie Lionheart is the only Universal Companion, able to communicate with all the mythical creatures hidden in our world. She is the most important member of a secret society sworn to protect the bonds between humans and creatures. But her power brings great responsibility and great danger.

JULIA GOLDING is the author of The Diamond of Drury Lane, which won the Nestlé Children’s Book Prize and the Ottakar’s Children’s Book Prize in the U.K., where she lives.

"The camaraderie and mutual respect shared by characters of all ages, ethnic backgrounds, and even species are believable and uplifting. A debate about constructing a wind farm to generate environmentally sustainable power (the winged creatures are opposed) thoughtfully integrates ecological issues into the story."
—School Library Journal, October 2008

"Innumerable mythological creatures and real-life issues of the environment combine surprisingly well in a compelling story that will definitely keep the pages turning. Recommend this series to ecological enthusiasts and fantasy lovers."
—VOYA Teen Reviewer

"Golding’s series about epic environmental danger continues its steady, gentle tone. Earnest narration and an ocean battle carry the day."
—Kirkus Reviews
