Diaballein

Kano Varre, esteemed research physicist, seeks a rare mineral â€" but finds his nightmares come to life. 
Eyza Heran returns to Lake Eyre for the annual bird-count and silent contemplation â€" but hallucinations of talking birds have her packing to go home. 
After millennia trapped in time, the Diaballein breaks free of the confines and seeks to open a gateway to brethren â€" and it needs a vessel for the task … 

Kano and Eyza must defeat the enemy while there’s only one, because if they fail, the world will fall into slavery, torture, death â€" worse than their nightmares, worse than any nightmare ever imagined. 
A ravaged Kano must make himself heard above the destructive roar of the Diaballein. 

Can he convince Eyza to kill him before it’s too late?
