About
Jaxie Clackton dreads going home. His mother is dead, his father is ruthless, and he wishes he were an orphan. But no one's ever told Jaxie Clackton to be careful of what he wishes for.
When Jaxie flees from the scene of his father's violent death, he strikes out for the vast wilds of Western Australia. All he carries with him is a rifle and a waterjug. All he wants is peace and freedom. But surviving in the harsh saltlands alone is a savage business. And once he discovers he's not alone out there, all Jaxie's plans go awry. He meets a fellow exile, the ruined priest Fintan MacGillis, a man he's never certain he can trust but on whom his life will soon depend.
