Dale escapes the school bullies, but outrunning a dark sorcerer wasn’t what she had in mind for her summer vacation...
'It is urgent for you to reach the Borderlands. There, you will learn everything you need to know.'
Dale has never really belonged. She despises the bullies at school, and her family is about as caring as the North Sea in winter. She’s more surprised than anyone when the cute, new boy at school seems to take an interest in her. Unfortunately, telling him her deepest secret proves a stupid mistake. The bullying reaches new levels, and weird things start to happen when the creatures from her childhood imagination suddenly reappear.
When Dale’s only friend in the world is violently attacked by an evil sorcerer, not only must she come to grips with the fact that sorcerers exist, she is set on a frantic escape and a dangerous quest; the Borderlands beckon. But what are the Borderlands? What exactly will they awake in her? And if she gets there, will she belong?

She’s supposed to save the world with magic, but Dale can barely summon the most basic spell.
‘The saviour shall have fire for hair and emeralds for eyes – her heart knows both goodness and evil.’
The prophecy predicted Dale to be the saviour. It's what everyone believed. But after a year of training, even a basic illumination spell proves impossible most of the time. How is she supposed to defeat the dark sorcerer and thwart the Unseelie horde that masses on the Arcadia border, bringing war to their doorstep?
The Seelie queen still has faith in her daughter – the fraught faith of one who believes in prophecies. But the belief has died in those left in Arcadia, and each day Dale is reminded by the fading hope in their eyes.
Desperate to halt the destruction of her new world, and despite her flawed sorcery, Dale heeds the strange whispers in her dreams and embarks upon a dangerous and secret quest in an attempt to fulfill her part in the prophecy.
If successful, Dale could be their saviour after all...

Truth and lies, order and chaos, sacrifice and salvation… all teeters on a knife’s edge.
‘You have already stepped onto the path. You will succeed. You must.’
Dale drove the Unseelie monsters out of Arcadia and a tentative peace settled over the realm, but as she strives to build respect as a leader, enemy reprisals have already begun.
Powerful as a god, the dark sorcerer vows retribution.
With her father missing, and her mother resolved to lay waste to an entire planet, Dale accepts a dangerous quest. To restore the balance, she must return to Earth, yet it is a strange new world. One she does not recognise, and one hellbent on her destruction.
The prophecy declared Dale was the saviour, but to balance the scales a price must be paid, and it may just cost her everything…
