Publisher's Synopsis
Kano Varre, esteemed research physicist, seeks a rare mineral -- but finds his nightmares come to life.
Eyza Heran returns to Lake Eyre for the annual bird-count and silent contemplation -- but hallucinations of talking birds have her packing to go home.
After millennia trapped in time, the Diaballein breaks free of the confines and seeks to open a gateway to brethren -- and it needs a vessel for the task ...
Kano and Eyza must defeat the enemy while there's only one, because if they fail, the world will fall into slavery, torture, death -- worse than their nightmares, worse than any nightmare ever imagined.
A ravaged Kano must make himself heard above the destructive roar of the Diaballein.
Can he convince Eyza to kill him before it's too late?
