'The way ahead will have many traps...There are eyes and ears even on this plain.'

When Japara and Wahn set off with Guruk the bandicoot to search for their missing friend, they sense danger all around. Kobor has uncovered an ancient secret and now the forces of a dark and powerful enemy have been unleashed. Will the mystery of the Stones of Fire cost Kobor his life? Can they find the hiding place of The Great Snake before it's too late?

This exciting adventure fantasy takes readers on a journey through the harsh beauty of Australia's north-east; from the coast, through rainforest, across plains where sudden flooding transforms barren wastes into an inland sea alive with plants and birds, and finally through the pitiless desert.
