Summary from Goodreads:
It has begun! Fourteen years
after a catastrophic disaster, the world has regained its balance with the help
of the Primortus. They have secretly walked amongst us since the beginning of
time, protecting the earth with the power of the elements. When a fourteen-year-old
girl is given two mysterious gifts from a father she never knew, she is drawn
into their dangerous world of magic.
She must learn to wield the power
of the Eleventh Elementum to survive. With the help of Will (her best friend),
his cousin and her new stepsister, she seeks out the evil that threatens New
Zealand. But a black-eyed stranger is watching their every move. Now, two
powerful beings will battle one another and the outcome will determine our way
of life.
Excerpt:
Skylee
crept into the room, carefully avoiding the open suitcases, shoeboxes
and clothing scattered on the floor. Dressing for the wedding had
created quite a mess. She had wanted to clean it up, but her
almost
stepsister insisted that her father had hired people to do such
things.
As
she approached the package, her pulse raced. Skylee normally opened a
present slowly and carefully like a doctor performing surgery, but
her excitement made her eagerly tear through the wrapping.
Inside,
cushioned on a bed of crumpled paper, was a brown leather book bound
with four gold rings. A diamond shape was carved into the front
cover. She held the book close to her heart realizing that it could
be her father’s journal, a look into his soul. Turning it over, she
examined it more closely and tried to imagine him holding it in his
hands. Despite her feeling of excitement, a deep sadness washed over
her.
Skylee
reached up and pushed back the heavy curtains, flooding the room with
sunlight. As she opened the book, a musty odor filled the room even
though the cover looked new. She thumbed through the crisp white
pages to find page after page of strange hand written lettering,
which appeared to be an ancient language. Skylee squinted at the
lettering and tried to make out the words.
Holding
the book closer to her face, she decided it was a language she had
never seen before. Her heart sank in disappointment. It wasn’t her
father’s journal. Why...she
wondered...why
did my dad want me to have a book that I can’t read?
