1876. THE QUEENSLAND FRONTIER.
A ruthless patrol of the Australian Native Police—the most feared trackers in the colony—is sent on a grim mission: to hunt down a group of escaped "blackbirded" islanders. They are the apex predators of the bush, armed, brutal, and relentless.
But the deeper they push into the suffocating outback, the more the hunt twists. Their prey is terrified, but not of them. Something ancient, monstrous, and territorial is stalking the patrol, picking them off one by one. In a land built on blood, the hunters have become the hunted.
This is not just a manhunt. It is a slaughter.
Blackbirded is historical horror fiction based in Colonial Australia. It is period accurate and contains language and themes that some might find disturbing, unsettling or upsetting.
