When a suspended animation pod with a child inside washes ashore on an isolated island of Vinea, Khany is dispatched to investigate – and takes Yoko along with her. The trail leads to a strange tower that emerges from the water at regular intervals, and on which Khany lands. But by the time Yoko follows suit, Khany has disappeared, the tower begins to sink again, and a mysterious, angel-faced Vinean is about to be shot by other men who appeared from beneath the waves.

Weirdly, this series is one I liked from the outset. There was the blend of adventure, sci fi and much more that our female protagonist got involved in even though I have never seen volume 2!
This current story line produces some great twists and the final pages of this volume revealed some unexpected ones.

This is definitely one of those books that CAN be read from 8 years of age and upwards and, again, I highly recommend it.
