A multi-generational literary saga, Devil's Brood blends the legendary history of Australia's frontier days with reflections on love, legacy and eternity. Transported for smuggling, Mary Dawlish arrives in Van Diemen's Land in 1840. Escaping from captivity, she joins a gang of bushrangers. She becomes involved with the gang leader but he is a psychopath who would certainly have killed her had she not killed him first. Captured after a bank raid and facing the gallows, she escapes and becomes a star in a circus. When gold is discovered, she opens several profitable butchers shops. Acquiring a gold mine, she becomes rich and earns the nickname of Devil's Bride. Estranged daughter Vanessa (Devil's Daughter) joins Josh Barton, her future husband, discovering rich tin deposits along Tasmania's west coast. Vanessa's granddaughter Jane, born in 1934, belongs to an ultra-secret branch of Australia's Secret Service, carrying out operations that earn her the nickname of Devil's Disciple. She becomes a best-selling novelist and establishes a spiritual connection with her long-dead ancestor. In 2024, surrounded by children and grandchildren (Devil's Brood), ninetyyear- old Jane contemplates the mystical connection linking past, present and future in a love transcending time.
