Gerrie Radlof se gewilde Oloff die Seerowerreeks is oorspronklik
tussen 1957 en 1961 uitgegee en het daarna reeds vier uitgawes
beleef. Die verhale, wat in die 1740's afspeel aan die Kaap de
Goede Hoop en die seewee daarom heen, is verwerk om aan te pas by
die moderne taalgebruik en aan te sluit by die hedendaagse tiener,
maar niks van die oorspronklike sjarme en spanning het in die
verwerking verlore gegaan nie. Ook geskik as leesstof vir Afrikaans
tweede taal vir ouer leerlinge.

Jude must risk venturing back into the treacherous Faerie Court, and
confront her lingering feelings for Cardan, if she wishes to save her
sister. But Elfhame is not as she left it. War is brewing. As Jude
slips deep within enemy lines she becomes ensnared in the conflict's
bloody politics.
And, when a dormant yet powerful curse is unleashed, panic spreads
throughout the land, forcing her to choose between her ambition and her
humanity...

Sy is ook haar skool se topswemmer en die moontlikheid van ’n swembeurs wink. Al gebeur daar nie veel op die dorpie waar hulle woon nie, het sy en Eduard groot planne om eendag die wêreld te sien. Planne wat aangevuur word deur hulle gedeelde passie vir flieks. Wanneer Samantha egter op die toneel verskyn, herrangskik dit Kara en Eduard se hele bestaan.

die veld afgejaag kan word nie.
