She has a gift.The earth urgently needs that gift, and it also needs the knowledge that a boy called Anaru holds. Together Tansy and Anaru - with guides from another realm - travel far into the heart of the earth. What will they discover there? How can they help to stem the world's great unrest? Calling on great myths of the world, The Unquiet is a spellbinding story that cradles a deep peace at its core. "There's only one planet that weaves into its spinning the wild thread of imagination. It touches everything we know."
