The Tralls of Nindarry

Gemayn thought he was following his grandmother along an ordinary walking track up to the summit of Mt. Ninderry but he soon discovered this particular track was anything but ordinary. It was a portal into the amazingly beautiful but incredibly dangerous Tralldom of Nindarry. When Gemayn meets the tralls who live there, he is surprised to learn that his sister, Bella is a regular visitor to the village.

Suddenly, the tralls are forced to go to war to save their ancestral lands from the evil Mr. Handley and Gemayn and his grandmother are trapped in the tralldom. During their enforced stay, Gemayn uncovers a long-held secret that links his family to the tralls. Could it shatter the emerging friendship between Gemayn, Bella, and the tralls, or will it destroy the bonds of trust that have always existed between them and their beloved grandparents?

The Tralls of Nindarry, written by emerging author Gayle Torrens, is the first book in The Trall Series; a collection of five portal fantasies set in Australia. It explores the concepts of intergenerational relationships, trust, loyalty, self-confidence, and environmental issues.

In 2024, The Tralls of Nindarry was awarded a Golden Wizard Book Prize for a fantasy book written for eight to twelve-year-old readers.
