Beneath Strange Stars
Rebecca Bryn
Jem, a young poacher is transported to Van Diemen's Land, for life, for killing one of Lord Northampton's gamekeepers, leaving behind Ella, the girl he loves. As Jem and his cousins plan a mutiny aboard the convict ship, HMS Tortoise in an attempt to return home to his lover, Ella is using the only currency she has, her body, to earn the fare to follow him across the globe.
The mutiny fails, and Jem faces a life in exile, but his determination to escape is not quelled. Will he escape and find his way home, or will he be forced to accept his fate and learn to love again? Can Ella raise the money to escape her loveless marriage, or will her new midsummer baby tie her to England forever? Is their love not meant to be?
