Djungari is an epic Australian historical romance and family saga that spans war, wilderness, and generations of memory. When Sarah returns to Broken Creek Station in Far North Queensland, she inherits more than her grandfather’s journal.

But this is more than a wartime love story. Set against the vast beauty of the Australian outback, Djungari is also a sweeping story of frontier life, family legacy, and the spiritual power of country.

But Richard’s past has not released him—and Pfeiffer’s has been waiting for her. An ambush exposes the lethal man behind Richard’s quiet reserve, shaking Pfeiffer’s hard-won trust. Then an enemy resumes a deadly game with only one acceptable ending: checkmate.
