About this listen

A deadly family curse holds two families in its powerful grip.

Captain Patrick Duffy's passions are inflamed by the mysterious Irishwoman Catherine Fitzgerald, further pitting him against his father, Michael Duffy, and his adoring but scheming grandmother, Lady Enid Macintosh.

On the rugged Queensland frontier, Native Mounted Police trooper Peter Duffy is torn between his loyal bond with Gordon James, the love of his sister, Sarah, and the blood of his mother's people, the Nerambura tribe.

Two men, the women who love them and a dreadful curse that still inextricably links the lives of the Macintoshes and the Duffys culminate in a stunning addition to the series featuring Cry of the Curlew and Shadow of the Osprey.

It’s a really good series. I’ll keep going with the series, already purchased the next one. The only criticism is it’s starting to be same-ish.
A bit like Wilbur Smith books. Slightly different characters, slightly different adventures, but connected.
As an Australian, I love the Aboriginal folklore.

Just as good

I am totally addicted to this seriously beautifully written and research novels. They are moving and profound. I’m just about to start the next one, which undoubtedly leave me smiling and awestruck.

The books keep getting better

It's a great story and the narration is good, unfortunately the quality of the recording is 2nd rate at best. It keeps stuttering and skipping as if your listening to an old cd

Great Tale but
