    About this audiobook

    The fourteenth book in the dramatic and intriguing story about the colonisation of Australia: a country made of blood, passion, and dreams.
     
    Against overwhelming odds they fought to tame a savage land, now they must fight to keep it.
     
    Dora Lucas, Francis De Lancey, the Yates brothers and Luke Murphy meet in the goldfields near Bathurst. All with different motives, but all drawn to the opportunities of the gold rush. Meanwhile, in Ballarat, trouble is brewing amongst the miners. Will they find riches and reach their goals or will the chaotic tide of the gold rush lead to unexpected places?
