Gabriel Fox, the young son of an old English house, arrives in
a land both ancient and new.

Drawn by the promise of his heart's desire, and compelled to
distance himself from pain at home, Gabriel begins his quest
into Van Diemen's Land.

His guide, a Cannibal who is not all he seems, leads him north
where Gabriel might free himself of his distracting burden and
seek the woman he must find. As Gabriel traverses this wild
country, he uncovers new truths buried within his own memory.

Original and playful, A Treacherous Country is a novel of loyalty,
wisdom and the freedom to act.
