In 1910s Australia, the sins of the fathers leave behind a bloody legacy in this historical epic saga, perfect for fans of Bryce Courtenay and Jeffrey Archer.
Two fathers, their sons and the feud that binds them.
In the early years of the twentieth century, Billy and Tommy Smith are growing up on the mean streets of Sydney's Millers Point. It's a hungry, hard-scrabble life, made even worse when their violent father returns home from a long stint in prison.
In the wealthy eastern suburbs, Charles Davies is living an entirely different life, the beneficiary of his father's business acumen and insatiable, unyielding greed. Charles wants for nothing - except perhaps his father's approval.
When an incident on The Point leads to the deaths of both Charles' and the Smith boys' fathers, a hatred is born that will follow the three men through their lives. In an epic saga taking them from Sydney to Gallipoli and the killing fields of France in World War I, to the melting pot of Darwin and the goldfields at Lightning Ridge, the men's paths all lead to one final destination: revenge.
But in the end, what price must be paid for the sins of the fathers?
