It's been a year since Zillah visited Roimata, a special place on the wild West Coast which changed her life last summer. Now she's heading back, expecting to meet up with Joss and Hep, the brother and sister who both challenged and betwitched her those strange, magical and sometimes terrifying few days.

Yet this time, not only have Joss and Hep asked along another guest – the spiky, self-centred Flea who's like the bad fairy at the banquet – the changes Zillah sees in Joss are disturbing. It seems he's heading into a downwards spiral: a breakdown he wants to handle in his own way. His sister can't handle the final crisis – leaving Zillah to help him through. A compelling, stand-alone sequel to Watermark.
