The tenth book in the dramatic and intriguing story about the colonisation of Australia: a country built on blood, passion, and dreams.
Not only Englishmen come to the new country of Australia.
A young American, the only survivor of a shipwreck, has also ended up there. She stands alone in this new and completely foreign world.
Another American, who served in the British army against Bonaparte, has arrived as well ? voluntarily.
In this melting pot, everyone must establish a life for themselves. The obstacles are many, but the future is still bright ...
Rebels and outcasts, they fled halfway across the earth to settle the harsh Australian wastelands. Decades later ? ennobled by love and strengthened by tragedy ? they had transformed a wilderness into a fertile land. And themselves into The Australians.
