From the streets of Edwardian London to a library in the distant future, a single book holds the key to the fate of life on Earth. This epic story brings together some of Big Finish's best-loved characters in an adventure spanning thousands of years!
Once upon a time there were two sisters. They were created by beings called the Grace. Both sisters had magic powers. When they were together, they could do anything. Go anywhere and when. Reach into people's minds, even influence their thoughts. They tried to be good. They tried to do what was right. But even when they tried their hardest to help people there were unintended consequences...
The Sphere is a private satellite complex and offers every kind of entertainment. It doubles in size every week. They lash new hotels and casinos to the outer skin, pinning them in place with huge girders. Zara came here by mistake and was quickly caught up in the noise and excitement. It's got into her head. When her sister Abby comes to the rescue, Zara insists that she can't leave. What is the secret that Zara is carrying with her? Why is Abby so ill? And how long can she resist the Sphere getting into her head as well?
Abby and Zara find themselves in the small town of Compton in October, 1912. In the local pub they meet Nan, who offers them the local beer and then has them arrested. Something is killing the town's children, something that hides in the fog, something that prevents Abby and Zara from leaving. But Abby knows something worse is coming to the town – something that will kill them all. Can Abby and Zara prove their innocence and help solve the mystery? Or is it sometimes better not to know?
Abby and Zara's past is catching up with them. A man they did wrong by has hunted them down across all of time and space, just to sell them out. The space pirate Kreekpolt knows the sisters can save his daughter's life – even if it burns Abby and Zara completely away. After that, ten thousand dead souls - hungry and empty and furious - want whatever is left...
Marek has brought Abby and Zara home to the city where he grew up. They’re wary at first – they’re meant to keep a low profile. But Marek assures them that everyone he knows here is dead. There’s a Rune Festival approaching, an excuse for a wild party – and it’s like there’s something in the air. Abby and Zara are soon swept up in the crowd, but Marek hasn’t told them the whole truth. Why has he brought them here? What can they do to help? And why is everyone so terrified of Manchu Golding?
The rain hasn’t stopped in three days and the floodwaters are rising. A small group of townspeople are determined to stop their town from being dragged into the sea. Abby and Zara are keen to help – anything to keep themselves busy after what they’ve both just been through. Maybe, finally, they’ve found somewhere they might settle down… But there’s something causing the food. And it can’t let anything stand in its way.
Wherever Abby and Zara have ended up this time, their powers no longer work. It’s dark and cold and there are no stars. Frequent sand storms threaten to cut the girls to pieces. But they are not alone… On a planet at the end of the universe, someone they never thought they would see again has been patiently waiting.

They can see into people's heads, even influence their thoughts. And, so long as they're together, they can go anywhere or when. But the universe is dangerous, unpredictable. Abby and Zara have made mistakes - and many thousands have died. They know they've done wrong, that they have made enemies, who scour all of history to find them. So they keeping moving on, trying to make amends, trying to help people. And not to do any more harm

Ciara Jansen stars in a BBC Radio full-cast dramatisation of the classic children's story. When Heidi, a lively orphan girl, goes to live with her grandfather in a little hut high in the Alps she soon learns to live in perfect harmony with her surroundings, leading a carefree life with her constant companion, Peter, a young goatherd. But her happiness is short-lived when she is sent to stay with a rich city family as a companion for the sick Clara. Although she becomes fond of the older girl, Heidi is terribly homesick. Will she ever be able to return to the Alps and the happiness she once knew with her friends? Johanna Spyri's touching story of the adventures of a young Swiss girl is one of the most popular children's stories ever written. Heidi's pleasure in the beauty of the Swiss mountains and her rich relationships with her friends and family are perfectly evoked in this warm and lively full-cast radio dramatisation.
