The Mistress of Dara Island
Synopsis
A tropical paradise is her birthright … but will its dark secrets destroy her dreams?In the 1960s, a tropical island in the Coral Sea hides dark secrets behind its primordial beauty.Thalia – ‘Tally’ – Ramsey has grown up barefoot, wild and free on the island purchased by her maternal grandfather. It is a paradise with two faces: an idyllic honeymoon resort for the rich and famous; and an untamed coastline with steeply rising peaks covered in impenetrable jungle.Tally has always known she will one day become the Mistress of Dara Island in her mother Nerissa’s stead. A belief founded on her mother’s promise. But as she matures, her determination and wilfulness bring her into conflict with her ruthless father, ‘Bullshark’ Richard Ramsey, a powerful figure feared by everyone, including his wife. Ultimately, Tally must face the heartbreaking realisation that her promised future is slipping from her grasp.After a sudden disappearance from the island, Tally embarks on a desperate search that leads her deep into Dara’s treacherous wilderness – a journey that will challenge all her assumptions about herself, her home and the people she loves.
