Arrow was just a girl when she saw something no child should have to see. And Marika is living a sister's worst nightmare...When Arrow and Marika come together in a small seaside town, they meet a mysterious 'magician' who says he knows how to escape the now and step into a new future. A brilliant and bittersweet story of loss and courage, with a surprising twist.
