English Summary/英文概要: How far would you go for love?
When George Collinson meets Eloise at the Governor’s mansion in Sydney, it is love at first sight. But Eloise is married to Edward Cadwallader George’s nemesis, and a man capable of great brutality.

A rebellious Irish boy, who arrived in the colony in chains, becomes deeply involved in a revolutionary cause and two women struggle for survival and friendship in the unlikeliest of places.
