The frontier districts-a land without a name. Untold miles of dark, uncultivated forestland in the northernmost reaches of New South Wales, Australia. When titled Scottish laird Robert Blackwood builds his home here, he soon finds himself bunkered in against the bloodiest frontier war in Australia's history. The towering walls of Blackwood Hall however are no defence against curses-an ancient, alien power hellbent on inserting itself into the life of Blackwood's eldest daughter, Abigail, and her family line into the technological age.
Five generations later a woman returns to her family home in the hills to reconcile with her dying mother-the world-famous seer and prophetess, Madame Levine. Pressured her whole life to remain childless in order to prevent a global catastrophe, Abigail's descendent, like her, must overcome her fear of the unknown for the sake of her sanity, and her family.
