Synopsis

For her fifteenth birthday, Rebecca Newton was given a whole new life! Never in her wildest dreams could she have imagined what she was told that day, but at the same time it did make sense of the exceptional talents that she had possessed all her life. And she finds herself transported from her house in London, to the Land of the White Sun, a low-tech paradise, where the conflict between good and evil is not some abstract idea, but an increasingly harsh and puzzling reality. Populated not just by humans like herself, but also by legendary heroes and mythical creatures, it is a land where war and myth are realities, but where little is as it seems - and where the future of two worlds is at stake! And with her unique combination of intelligence and sensitivity, Rebecca just may be the one to heal old wounds and forge a brighter future for both the Land of the White Sun and the Earth. In the best tradition of fiction, Orizon combines fantasy with philosophy, and dares to shout out loud the thoughts that all sensible people keep buried inside them about the world today. At once a thrilling, highly original story and a profound novel of ideas, this controversial bestseller has found a wide audience among both teenagers and adults.
