Chapter One: The Unexpected Visitor
"It was a perfectly normal afternoon in rural Victoria. The kind of day where nothing out of the ordinary ever happened. Until, of course, it did."
"The family was going about their business when a shadow fell across the garden. Not a cloud shadow. Something much larger. Something with wings."
