The Rift will open at Oz Comic-Con
Award winning YA author Rachael Craw is heading to Oz Comic-Con Sydney from 29th-30th September at ICC Darling Harbour to promote her new YA novel, The Rift.

When the Rift opens, death follows. For generations, the Rangers of Black Water Island have guarded the Old Herd against horrors released by the Rift. Cal West, an apprentice Ranger with a rare scar and even rarer gifts, fights daily to prove he belongs within their ranks. After nine years away, Meg Archer returns to her childhood home only to find the Island is facing a new threat that not even the Rangers are prepared for. Meg and Cal can’t ignore their attraction, but can they face their darkest fears to save the Island from disaster?
