<p>The narrow stairway inside the mountain led to a door that opened into a huge marble plateau. Upon this stood a stone circle of nine of the largest hunks of polished crystal Tory had ever seen. A turbulent cloud erupted overhead, its core alive with electromagnetic activity.\nFor twenty years the kingdoms of Prydyn, Dumnonia and Dalriada have prospered in peace under the guidance of their High King, Maelgwn of Gwynedd, and his good Queen, Tory.\nBut when the High King is stricken with madness and a mysterious plague, Britain is set to be thrown into the chaos of yesteryear. Tory seeks the advice of an advanced civilisation that thrived long before recorded history, where men of great learning and miracles were abundant. The women of the Otherworld agree to aid Tory to make her passage back through time.\nBut once in Atlantis, Tory must use her own devices t find the cure she seeks and a way to return to her loved ones in the Dark Ages.</p>

Winner of the Colin Roderick Award   Lion & Kangaroo is one of Australia's great works of history, a rich chronicle of the nation's coming-of-age.   With intelligence, wisdom and wit, acclaimed historian Gavin Souter captures all the milestones of Australia's first decades, from the constitutional conventions of the nineteenth century to the turbulent years that followed World War I. Painting unforgettable portraits of scores of the most fascinating participants, he traces a national character in evolution.   Profound and insightful, it is impossible to comprehend contemporary Australia without first reading Lion & Kangaroo.   Praise for Lion & Kangaroo   'A writer of great distinction ... This book is the work of a man who can impose on the chaos of the past an order that lifts the work into the realms of art without doing violence to the events or sacrificing the standards of scholarship as defined by the academics. It is a great achievement.' - Manning Clark   'A superb evocation of Australian life in the years between federation and the First World War, showing how imperial sentiment dominated our lives and left a vacuum in Australia's national identity ... beautifully written, lucid, witty and compelling.' - Gough Whitlam
