Starry sparks rest your shine,
light will travel through its times.
Love will clear the lost storm,
bringing the clear sky back home.
History-making theatre practitioner and Amazon best-selling author, Susan Marshall, celebrates Australian childhood and its uniqueness in this captivatingly epic, metaphysical myth in verse for children.
Princess Zyra has inherited arid Australian land by the sea, perpetually lit by moonlight. As its new ruler, hoping to keep the land alive, she transforms it into the mystical cosmos of Sea Castle.
As Princess Zyra creates Sea Castle's mystical flora and fauna, she discovers that her beloved native Birri are missing. Working with her sister, Jara the Magician and their magical friends, Princess Zyra must save Sea Castle's environment, find the Birri and defeat the unnatural force that plagues her world. As time closes in, Princess Zyra realises that the success of her mission greatly depends on her ability to discover the deeper mystery of being surrounding her own lost storm.
Award-winning Susan Marshall's epic, metaphysical myth in verse, Princess Zyra's Lost Storm: An Australian Childhood Myth, is a lyrical narrative and visual feast, enhanced by her distinctively unique illustrations. It is a tale of childhood heroism, adventure and the quest for being and existing as Australia faces drought. Inspired by classical metaphysical philosophies and theories, the moonlit cosmos of Sea Castle transcends the fierce beauty of Australian land and sea, empowering our hero, Princess Zyra as its original mystic, pioneer and adventurer. A captivating tale fuelled by vivid moments of childhood growth, perception, discovery, desire, dreams and imagination to enthrall generations to come.
