The twelfth 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.

The struggle continues – a struggle to harness an alien wilderness, to lay the bold foundation for their dreams. But powers outside the Australians' control are threatening to put all they have accomplished in jeopardy.

A new generation of Australians comes into its own, more newcomers arrive, and together, they all must battle to forge the glorious destiny that is rightfully theirs.
