A teenager is struggling to come to terms with the consequences of her unique gift. But she's not alone. And she doesn't know the truth.
UPDATED 3rd February - TWO NEW CHAPTERS ADDED
It all began with the ancient Indian legend about Amrita Devi fighting to save a tree from the Maharajah's axe. In her hospital bed, surfacing from a coma, thirteen-year old Rainbow pieces together the events that have turned her from a naïve West Country schoolgirl into a murderer with a secret gift.
But she didn't hear the truth her mum confessed during her coma.
Squashed between her mum's spiritual ambitions and her stepfather's refusal to believe in anything so unscientific as magic hands, she has to decide what to do about her gift. The traumas she faces as she struggles to deal with the frightening side of her gift, and yet develop its planet-saving potential, carry her through family upheaval and lead her to France.
In a parallel life, however, another Rainbow hears the fateful words her mother spoke during the coma. Will she make the same decisions as her counterpart? And, above all, will she find the courage to face her destiny now that she knows the truth?
