• The destinies of two families, black and white, are fatally interwoven in this powerful, cinematic frontier novel. A tragic account of the Myall Creek massacre underscores the story of Ginny and Wollumbuy, Kamilaroi people of the Warrumbungle ranges. Mysterious killings follow the arrival of Karl and Gudrun Maresch, a German couple who establish a Lutheran mission near the young settlement of Coonabarabran.

• The Myall Creek massacre was the killing of at least 28 unarmed Aboriginal people in the Colony of New South Wales by eight colonists on 10 June 1838 at the Myall Creek in the north of the colony. Seven perpetrators were convicted of murder and hanged.
