The world of the before times has collapsed and the last survivors are gathering together to form a community in a remote bay. Only with everyone's effort and the knowledge of the guardians do the people defy nature.

Kisi plays her part as a gatherer in the desert. There, in the endless expanse on the back of her ruby lizard, she feels free. When she saves the life of a young Keeper one day and befriends her, Kisi has no idea what events she is setting in motion. The power structure of the bay is crumbling, threatening not only Kisi's simple life, but all of humanity. Kisi and her friends are drawn into the conflagration for supremacy - whether they like it or not. They resolutely resist the disintegration of everything they know, only to realise that the spark has an unexpected origin.

A gripping dystopia that shows that we can overcome anything with courage, friendship and an amulet.
