The binding spell is broken. The Dark Ones, destroyers of the legendary kingdom of Lantia, now roam free - determined that this time the whole world will be theirs...

In spite of Dad's misgivings, Niff and her brother Simon are thrilled to spend their term break in the city with Aunt Viv, a writer who drives cabs to make ends meet. Then Niff encounters the Dark and everything changes. Who is the stranger on the ferry? What terrible secrets lie buried in the abandoned coalmines? Before long they discover the true horror of what is about to take place. The key to the future lies hidden deep in the past, and time is quickly running out. But what can Niff, Simon and their new friend Jess seriously hope to do about it?
