'Sarah Drummond's debut novel is the story of a Maori warrior and sailor called Wiremu Heke, who has gone on a voyage of revenge. But instead he has found himself stranded with a crew of sealers in King George Sound, after sailing from Van Diemen's Land via Kangaroo Island. The year is 1826 and life with the sealers is rough and violent, especially for the Indigenous women who have been raped, stolen and kidnapped. ...'
