Beautifully written and feverishly paced,
Everlasting is an unforgettable
journey of passion,
secrecy, and adventure.
Sailing aboard her father’s trade ship is all seventeen-year-old Camille Rowen has
ever wanted. But as a girl of society in 1855 San Francisco, her future is set: marry
a man she doesn’t love, or condemn herself and her father to poverty. On her final
voyage before the wedding, the stormy arms of the Tasman Sea claim her father, and
a terrible family secret is revealed. A secret intertwined with a fabled map, the
mother Camille has long believed dead, and an ancient stone that wields a dangerous
- and alluring - magic. The only person Camille can depend on is Oscar, a handsome
young sailor whom she is undeniably drawn to. Torn between trusting her instincts
and keeping her promises to her father, Camille embarks on a perilous quest into
the Australian wilderness to find the enchanted stone. As she and Oscar elude murderous
bushrangers and unravel Camille’s father’s lies, they come closer to making the ultimate
decision of who - and what - matters most.
