About this listen

Never-before released short story by best-selling author Isobelle Carmody.

A one-eyed cat weaves its way through Hannah's dreams, beckoning her up high mountains where she must walk the dark road. Her pilgrimage will take her through desert dunes, and deep into the strange recesses of long-hidden memories.

Guided only by an old letter and her psychic intuition, Hannah's journey will test her ageing limbs, as she carries the weight of her mother's prophecy to her salvation, or peril....

This is a brilliant short story, based on the history of the Obernewtyn series.

The book follows Hannah as she travels to the Highlands heading towards Obernewtyn. It also travels back a bit to her mother and gransdmother as their livens are entwined with Elspeth in the future.
