Cover Title Author

Rural New South Wales, 1899. Sybylla Melvyn is a force of nature—a young woman of spirit, born in the wrong time and place, but filled with dreams. Will she be a writer? An actor? An artist, a musician, a politician? Will she explore the world? Any one of these would be better than the path of wife and mother seemingly predestined for her.

When a street game played by the neighbourhood kids conjures up a mysterious girl, Abigail follows her down twisting alleyways to find herself stuck somewhere strangely familiar and yet entirely strange: The Rocks … in 1873.

Three Sisters
Laurence Strangio

Olga, Masha and Irina dream of returning to Moscow… But time marches on… Soldiers come and go, babies are born, great calamities take place. Life happens while the three Prozorov sisters wait for theirs to begin. It's time to act.

In an ordinary street, in an ordinary suburb, in an ordinary town, something is amiss. It's not the maths exam the teens are about to fail, or the overdue essay. It's not global warming or fast-fashion sweatshops. It's a low buzz of anxiety, a quiet terror in the middle of the night. Because girls have been going missing.
