Publisher's Summary
Part one of the bestselling saga of love and adventure on the high seas in the Pacific of the 1800s, by one of our leading historical novelists.
When 18-year-old Kitty Carlisle's father dies in 1838, her suddenly impoverished mother hopes her beautiful daughter might at least find a good husband. But then Kitty is compromised by an unscrupulous adventurer, and she is banished in disgrace to the colonies.
In the infamous whaling port of Kororareka—known as the Hell-Hole of the Pacific—Kitty falls in love with Rian Farrell, a mysterious sea captain with secrets of his own. Shocking events force her to flee the Bay of Islands for Sydney, but her independent heart leads her into a web of illicit sexual liaison, betrayal and death.
Part one of the bestselling saga of love and adventure on the high seas in the Pacific of the 1800s, by one of our leading historical novelists.

Terrible Pronunciation!
Read the hard copy book for this one, the narration is awful; the pronunciation makes a meal of the Maori langauage and ruins a good story.

Great story
Very engaging story. Love the mix of fiction with historical fact. Unfortunately the narrator struggled to pronounce the Maori words properly which made the Maori characters less believable.

Awful narration
I was fully prepared to enjoy this book - I like the author and I enjoy historical narrative - especially from NZ and Australia.
Unfortunately the performance of the dialog was strangely exaggerated and weird - it was difficult to relate to characters that were read with such affectation. I tried on and off a few times before realising this wasn’t going to work for me.
