Dark Southern Sun is a story about love, friendship, and honor in the goldfields of old Australia. In this standalone sequel to the award-winning novel, Counter Currents, Ryan washes up on the southern shore of Australia near death in 1845. Rescued by two Wathaurung native children and nursed to health by their parents, his life and theirs are entwined through joys and sorrows for the next ten years. Set against the backdrop of Australia’s formative years, Ryan witnesses the displacement of the Aboriginal people. He profits from the world’s largest alluvial gold rush and is sucked into Australia’s biggest armed uprising. Two very different women—one white, one black—tug at his heart as he struggles from penury to prosperity. As he rises in social esteem as an astute businessman and cunning streetfighter, Ryan creates two bitter enemies—one white, one black. In time, they set aside their vast racial and emotional hatreds and combine forces against Ryan. Can he survive their vicious attempt to destroy him and those he loves, and save the good life he has built?
