The land of Mirrios is terrorised by an evil necromancer who holds the land’s guardian, the silver-horned unicorn, Mirabelle, captive. Meanwhile, in Melbourne, Australia, a young girl, Helen, is being terrorised by school bullies. Through a magic door, Helen escapes into Mirrios where she becomes caught up in an adventure that helps her discover her own inner strength. There, she finds that a stone she once found in a creek near her home is really a message from Mirabelle. Helen, or Elena as she is called in Mirrios, meets a little gnome called Pea and his friend Cat, as well as an elf, Nancha, and a boy, Kam. Together, they set out on a quest to save Mirabelle. But, a Melbourne schoolgirl, an elf child, a young boy, a little gnome and a cat – how can any of them defeat the powerful necromancer and his evil goblins? How can they break into his mountain fortress and free Mirabelle from her chains?

Rosemary worked as a children’s librarian for many years until she received a diagnosis of MS, which eventually led to her early retirement. After traveling overseas several times, including a visit to her father’s birthplace in Birmingham, England, she now lives in a unit not far from Glenroy with a tabby cat named Jenny. She has always enjoyed writing and developed a love for fantasy ever since reading E. Nesbit’s books as a child. To be able to create such a magical world herself has been a lifelong ambition.
