Description

Sadie is sixteen and bored with life in Perth. It's summer, and lazing on the beach in the stifling heat with her cousins and Tom is a drag. Then something comes out of the sea.

Dark menacing forms attack an old man, leaving him for dead and Sadie wracking her brains to understand what she saw. Then there's a mysterious inheritance, a strange young man called Jake, and a horned beast trampling the backyard.

Sadie finds herself caught in the middle of an ancient conflict that is nearing its final battle, a showdown that threatens to engulf Perth and all those she loves in a furious tsunami.

Fire In The Sea is a fast-paced thrilling adventure with a feisty heroine who is not afraid to fight for what she knows is right.
