Call me crazy, but I think I just invented Melbourne’s newest drawcard. The idea has been brewing in my head for a little bit and now I feel like it’s ready to share with the world. I can hear you clamouring: what is it? Well, I have decided to add to Australia’s collection of big […]

“You came back,” Cole said, stepping down the stairs. “Are you okay? What happened?” Rylee looked down at her broken leg and sighed. “Long story involving a haunted conveyancing museum and a quest to stop the Conclave. Listen, Cole, I need your help. Maphira and Vai have been kidnapped. I have to save my sister, […]
