'Ava and her two young sons, Max and Teddy, are driving to their new home in Sheerwater, hopeful of making a fresh start in a new town, although Ava can't but help keep looking over her shoulder. They're almost at their destination when they witness a shocking accident - a light plane crashing in the field next to the road. Ava stops to help, but when she gets back to the car, she realises that somewhere, amongst the smoke, fire and confusion, her sons have gone missing...
'From a substantial new Australian writing talent, Sheerwater is tense, emotional, unforgettable. Perfect for readers of Mark Brandi's Wimmera and Stephanie Bishop's The Other Side of the World, this is a beautifully written, propulsive, gut-wrenching and unputdownable novel - an aching, powerful story of the heroic acts we are capable of in the name of love.'

'Kidnapped at birth, raised by a she-wolf, then taken in by a kind farmer and his wife, Irina is no ordinary foundling. She is a princess, the long-lost daughter of King Harmon and Queen Chloe of Ragnor, and in the coming days of battle, could it be that a princess with the courage of a warrior and the instincts of a wolf is exactly what is needed?'
