Darkfall marks the beginning of a stunning trilogy from one of Australia's leading writers of fantasy. This powerful, compelling saga, book one of The Legendsong is set in a mysterious, uncertain world that only Carmody could create. After the death of her parents and her beloved instructor, Wind, Glynn devotes herself to the care of her sick twin sister, feeling her own life to be unimportant. One night, during a midnight swim, she is swept across the Void to the troubled watery world of Keltor, through a portal created to summon the mythical Unraveller. What is the mysterious connection between Glynn's world and Keltor? And why does the man who rescued her from the waves bear an eerie resemblance to Wind? While it stands on its own as an absorbing, seductive and powerful novel, the sequels to Darkfall will be eagerly awaited.

Fraternal Twins are each thrown into the same world, on after the other, but they each turn up in different places, and are separated.
Glynn ends up with Solen, who she has not told about being an outsider.
Ember is left with three women, who know who she is, and where they need to take her.
The world with two suns is in a state of upheaval, and Ember and Glynn are both key to the saving of it.
They don't have much time, though, because Ember has a huge brain tumour, and is very near death.
This book is absolutely brilliant, and I cannot wait until the third one is released!!

DARK FALL- Isobelle carmody
The story is set in the world of Keltor. It is a very different world to our own in its environment, people and politicsalthough everything it does is mirrored by our world as they are both linked by a ancient portal created to lure the legendary Unraveller who is destined to restore both worlds to the balance between Chaos and the Song.
Glynn and her dying sister Ember go holidaying, for the last time, to Greece. On impulse Glynn goes for a midnight swim. She swims to far out and goes under only to be drawn through the portal into Keltor. Glynn has had enough of death, with her parents and her beloved kata instructor Wind all dead, she doesn't want to lose Ember. And so Glynn begins searching for a way back home.
But what she doesn't know is that Ember has been drawn through the portal too...
This book really hits home in terms of what is happening right before our eyes every day. Isobelle Carmody has really out done herself.
