Reissue of a novel for teenagers first published in the Viking imprint in 1999. 15-year-old Jamie Hassan has been chosen by a Sufi of old Alexandria to step into the realms of the dead and follow the ivory trail through four continents, six generations, and five diverse cultures. As a channeller, Jamie can speak to the dead and relive their lives, but will he deny his remarkable power? Award-winning author's other publications include 'Taronga', 'Slow Burn' and 'Fire Dancer'.
