    About this ebook

    Charles Banks, an adventurous English backpacker, arrives at Murchison Station for an enticing job opportunity. But what starts as a warm welcome from owner Vern Cardwell and his wife, Martha, quickly turns into a sinister nightmare.

     

    As Charles delves deeper into his role at the remote wheat station, he uncovers the truth behind the high employee turnover and the grim fate that awaits him.

     

    Trapped and at the mercy of Vern's malevolence, Charles must navigate a treacherous web of deceit and danger, all while clinging to the hope of surviving this isolated and ominous farmstead.

      The Invitation

      Aug 21, 2023

      York, October 1644 Before I’ve even mustered the courage to knock, the door to the townhouse flings open. I drop my hand. “It is me, John Falmouth,” I say and wince at how loud my voice carries into the night. My greeting falters when I look up and n
