Description

In the rugged landscape of North-east Victoria during 1879, Jamie Ross and his sister Ellen find themselves navigating a world filled with uncertainty and the harsh realities of loss. Orphaned and struggling to survive, the siblings must rely on each other as they face the challenges of life on the fringes of society. Amidst their troubles, the shadow of Ned Kelly looms large, capturing the imaginations of locals and igniting tales of heroism and infamy.

As they grapple with their new existence, Jamie's curiosity about Kelly's exploits leads him deeper into a world of danger and intrigue. The notorious figure's legend whispers in every corner, intertwining with the lives and aspirations of those around them. Jamie and Ellen are drawn into the web of excitement and peril that surrounds the infamous outlaw, each choice they make carving their path through a tumultuous journey.

Their resilience and determination are tested as they encounter both allies and adversaries, all while searching for their place in a landscape shaped by violence and loyalty. The siblings must navigate their relationships with those who idolize Kelly and those who seek to bring him to justice, all while facing the realities of their own precarious situation. In the face of mounting odds, Jamie and Ellen must decide what they truly believe in and what kind of legacy they wish to forge.

Amidst this richly woven backdrop of history and myth, the struggles and triumphs of Jamie and Ellen stand as a testament to resilience. Their journey not only reflects the turbulent era they inhabit but also challenges the boundaries of morality, loyalty, and the pursuit of freedom. As the tale unfolds, readers are invited to immerse themselves in a gripping exploration of bravery, survival, and the enduring power of family bonds.
