When Kit’s younger sister Libby goes missing her world crashes down as she tries to find her. When her mum appears to have no recollection of Libby, Kit reels at the thought and is determined to find out what happened to her entranced sister during the solstice and the eery full moon.
When she meets Story, who thankfully remembers Libby too, they embark on a perilous journey spanning not only different timelines of the past but a walk through Kit’s ancestral history too.
