A story of friendship, mystery and adventure in outback Australia. Journey with master storyteller Di Morrissey to the red, rocky desert in her 31st novel.
Top-rating TV presenter Nicole and her savvy producer and friend Stacie suddenly find themselves under the rule of a new boss ... he's arrogant, patronising and out to prove he's in charge.
Their challenge? To create a hit show revealing the hidden heart of outback Australia - a place few from the towns and cities have visited and even fewer people understand.
What begins as a career-defining adventure quickly spirals into something far more dangerous and unexpected. In a land of craggy rocks and vast plains, whispered stories and a history as old as the dinosaurs, Nicole and Stacie uncover secrets - how other lives are lived, fossil treasures deep in the red earth, a missing stranger and a blossoming love story.
Beneath the endless sky this land reveals its magic - and its menace - as the two friends find more than they could ever have imagined.
