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.

Vivian Stuart was a British writer and during her writing career she had more than 70 books published in Australia, USA and the UK.
Born in Berkshire in England, she spent most of her youth in Burma and India, and later lived in Hungary and Australia. At the age of thirty-five she began to write romantic fiction but soon devoted her attention to military and historical novels.
The Australians series was her most ambitious venture. Originally envisaged as a series of six books, it was extended to many more by popular demand.

Anxiously waiting for the next book of the series to arrive!” ? Goodreads reviewer
