As the Byzantine & German emperors plot war against each other, Venice's future rests in the hands of three unwilling people: The newly knighted Sir Tycho.

The grieving Lady Giulietta. Impossibly rich, deeply spoilt. A virgin, a mother, a widow... Both emperors want her hand for their sons in marriage. All she wants is to retire from the poisonous world of the Venetian court to mourn her husband in peace. & finally a naked, mud-strewn girl who crawls from a pauper's grave on an island in the Venetian lagoon & begins by killing the men who buried her. ...

On a moonlit night in 1903, a mysterious young woman flees alone across the Canadian wilderness, one quick step ahead of her pursuers. Mary Boulton is nineteen years old, half mad, & widowed
- by her own h&. Tearing through the forest with dogs howling in the distance, she is desperate, her nerves burning, & she is certain of one thing only
- that her every move is being traced. Two red-headed brothers, rifles across their backs, lurch close behind her: monstrous figures, identical in every way, with the predatory look of hyenas. She has murdered their brother, & their cold lust for vengeance is unswerving. As the widow scrambles to stay ahead of them, the burden of her existence disintegrates into a battle in which the dangers of her own mind become more menacing than the dangers of the night. Along the way, the steely outlaw encounters a changing cast of misfits & eccentrics. Some, like the recluse known as ' The Ridgerunner', provide a brief respite from her solitude; others, like the Reverend Bonnycastle, offer support only to reveal that they too have their own demons raging inside. As she is plunged further away from civilisation, her path from retribution to redemption slowly unfurls. A startling transformation of the classic western narrative, The Outlander is the haunting tale of one young woman's deliberate journey deep into the wild. The size of this book is 19.7cm in height & 12.9cm wide with 389 pages
