“Something was afoot, an ancient magic from bygone times, out of place in these last years of the twentieth century . . .”Twelve-year old Gerry is uneasy. The night of the winter solstice is approaching and he knows people in the district are planning a huge bonfire. It will beacon forth like the signal fires of long ago, visible along the coast and way out to sea, over the black waters ofthe night. But he has a feeling that something else is going to happen, something that will challenge him in a way he dreads. With the finding of a stuffed, mounted pheasant in an antique shop, shortly before the solstice, there begins a chase which has moved through the centuries, from the Greece of Jason and Argonauts, to seek its final resolution on the night of this solstice.Before he can understand what is happening, Gerry, his brother Ben, and their friend Mara are caught up in a contest of opposing forces from other times, and other worlds.

"Out against the black of night, lit by the fires of tall buildings flaming like skyward torches, was the background of a white-topped sea, running mountainous waves.

Little does she realise what a challenge will now confront her, when she slips it into her pocket to examine more closely later.Someone else seeks this stone, which has special properties. Amber's courage and resolution are tested, and her very life in danger, when she undertakes to help its rightful owner meet the challenge of his nemesis - and make his way safely back to his own world.
