Inspired by the true story of the Macquarie Harbour bolters one of the most horrifying events from Colonial Australia's bloody history. And while she searches for answers, he will do anything to keep his secrets inside. When Violet disappears, Grace's fragile trust in Alexander is put to the test. Hiding from civilisation in an attempt to forget his horrifying past, Alexander struggles to let Grace into his world. Deep in the wilderness, they find a crude hut inhabited by Alexander Dalton, an escaped convict long presumed dead. She and Violet find themselves lost in a beautiful but deadly land where rain thunders down mountains, the earth drops away without warning and night brings impenetrable darkness. But the terrain beyond the settled districts is wilder than Grace could ever have imagined. With death around every corner, people are all too willing to believe in ghosts, and embrace the spiritualism movement finding its way across the seas. Life is brutal on the goldfields of Castlemaine.
In her head, escape is easy: find work in the northern settlements and earn enough for passage home to London.
