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.
