Description:
All this while,
Matilda’s shadow had been growing larger and larger. Suddenly, it lunged out of
the ground and swallowed her, like a python does its unsuspecting prey.
Nine year old
Matilda ends up with a century old book through a series of strange
coincidences. And disappears. Her brother and cousins are forced to suspend
their hostilities and pursue her to Sceadu, a land inside the human shadow.
Once there, the reluctant visitors find themselves chased by the vicious
Hefigans, creatures of Sceadu. However, everything changes with the revelation
of an ancient prophecy that foretells the doom of the world they left behind.
With the stakes
suddenly raised, the children must now navigate the dangerous terrain, overcome
grave challenges, and unlock the secrets of the shadow. But can they do it in
time to thwart the plans of the treacherous Hefigans? Or will they succumb to
the guile of a ruthless enemy who is equally determined to destroy mankind?
Sceadu
is a fast-paced adventure which blurs the boundary between the physical and the
psychological, the real and the mythical.
