Avatar is an ancient word, its true origin predating computers by thousands of years and its secret at the heart of why Zak, a young boy recently orphaned, is pursued from his home on a planet called Terrah to the summit of Khufu’s great pyramid in Egypt and then to Australia.
Once in Australia, Zak’s adoptive parents take him to a remote farm near Dunedoo, a small town in country New South Wales. Zak is home schooled and time passes quickly as he lives in apparent safety, but bleak social isolation. It isn’t until he is fourteen that his life is turned upside down as mysterious neighbours seek to upset his perfect little world. At the same time, there is a brutal attack on his homestead and Zak uses a power he doesn’t understand to defeat an assassin with magical abilities. What follows is a series of disasters as Zak’s life is thrown into turmoil and he struggles to deal with life in a world where he has no one he can trust...
