  In a remote Colorado town in the 1940s, seventeen-year-old Victoria Nash shoulders the burden of her family’s farm after tragedy strips her of a mother, aunt, and cousin. Her life changes when she encounters Wil, a drifter whose Indigenous identity marks him as an outsider in a prejudiced community. Their forbidden love sets off a chain of choices that will haunt Victoria for decades—through the violence that takes Wil’s life, the secret child she must abandon, and the forced flooding of her hometown when the valley is dammed to build a reservoir. With only her orchard of peach trees and her enduring will, Victoria must learn to survive loss, displacement, and silence. Flowing like the river itself, her story is about resilience, memory, and the quiet strength of choosing to live on despite everything taken away.

  A plague is coming to London. Dreaded more than the Devil himself, cholera - the 'blue death' - spares no one. As fear grows across the city, Jem Flockhart and Will Quartermain are called to the bedside of a dead man, murdered, and with his throat torn out, in the back room of a brothel. When an innocent man is taken to Newgate, Jem and Will have until execution day to save him. The search for the identity of the corpse, and the killer, takes them to the gates of Blackwater Hall, home to the secretive, and corrupt Mortmain family. With the approach of autumn, no one is safe, for the fog brings with it an evil and poisonous sickness - the perfect shroud for murder. 
  When family secrets are prised out into the open, people begin dying. But who, or what, is the cause? Searching for answers, Jem and Will are driven underground, to the passages and tunnels beneath the city's teeming streets. Here, their adversary proves to be more elusive, and more deadly, than ever. 
  'Jem Flockhart books are the best I've read in years' - KIRSTY LOGAN 
  'A marvel . . . thoroughly engrossing' - MARY PAULSON ELLIS

  When Francis House enlists in the British Army in 1907, at the tender age of fifteen years and three months, he is not thinking about war. He imagines he simply wants to earn his stripes – to ease his traumatised father's Boer War memories, or perhaps to please his favourite sister, Lily, with whom he has always dreamt of adventure. But he soon discovers that simply becoming a soldier is not enough and, against the advice of his sergeant, he determines to seek out a real fight. Wading ashore at Gallipoli seven years later, Francis thinks he might just have found the site of his greatest opportunity. Here, he thinks, he might finally prove himself a man. First, though, he must find his missing friend Berto.
  He needs to say sorry. He cannot yet imagine the ghosts that might stand in his way.
