The Nightscape

A strange land exists, one devoid of intelligent life and too harsh for anyone to survive in it for any length of time. Remnants of an unknown civilisation are scattered everywhere, but no clues to tell who they were or where they went. Lyra has been unwillingly pulled from our world to the other since she was little, taking refuge in it when everything around her became unsteady. However, shortly after her eighteenth birthday, she meets someone in the other world.

All of a sudden, people who seem to know about and be able to travel between the two like her are appearing all around her. Her father's boss, the girl who helps at the local library, even her best friend all seem to know more than they want to tell her. Knowing who can be trusted and who wants to hurt you is impossible, especially as Lyra is left reeling from seeing her mother again for the first time since she was three. As they all seem to vie for her to be their allies, Lyra finds it hard to tell good from evil and friend from foe. 

And making the wrong decision could cost her life.
