About this listen

1851. After the death of her father, young Eve Richards is left destitute. Her struggle to survive sees her deported in chains to the colony of New South Wales, penniless and alone. But in this strange new world, fortune smiles on the spirited, clever Eve in the shape of a respectable job offer that will lead to a quiet, secure life. Then fiery, charismatic Irishman Kieran Clancy crosses her path ...

For Kieran and his brother Liam, the promise of free passage and land in this brave new world is a chance to leave the grief and starvation of County Clare behind. While Liam works their farm, Kieran has the fire of gold fever upon him and is drawn to the goldfields of Ballarat.

As tensions grow on the goldfields, and with the blood of an Irish rebel still beating through his heart, Kieran is caught up in the cataclysmic events at the Eureka Stockade and faces the decision of a lifetime: whether or not, when it comes to love, blood will remain thicker than water ...
