A triumph of imagination and wordplay. An adventure as fierce and fiery as the volcanoes that rule it... and the girl that rules them! Now in paperback - launching a stunning new cover look! On Gullstruck Island the volcanoes quarrel, beetles sing danger and occasionally a Lost is born... In the village of the Hollow Beasts live two sisters. Arilou is a Lost - a child with the power to depart her body and mind-fly with the winds - and Hathin is her helper. Together they hide a dangerous secret. Until sinister events threaten to uncover it. With a blue-skinned hunter on their trail and a dreadlocked warrior beside them, they must escape. Can the fate of two children decide the future of Gullstruck Island? Discover a dazzling world, a breathtaking heroine... and an incredible adventure!

Not sure if I was listening to this book at the wrong points in time or if the book just wasn't clicking. The latest development could turn the book around but I moved on to another for the time being.
