All Ashley wanted to do was get to Linzi Andrews' party safely; but with her friends, Alex and Maia, arguing all the time, she might have known things wouldn't work out that way. Swerving off the motorway, they wind up careering through a tear in time, landing on the edge of Falfalla, a small village that has been stuck in 1586 for the past 420 years. But no one seems to know how it happened and, with the evil Shadows at large, there's no one brave enough to do anything about it. It's up to Ashley, her brother and their friends to save them - that's if they can get back to the present.Ancient spells, a lost village, war between the gods. As if being fifteen wasn't bad enough!
