Description
Discover the captivating world of 'Beyond the Outer Limits', an epic novel by bestselling author Nicole Alexander. This beautifully crafted story weaves together themes of bravery, loyalty, and impossible love set in the backdrop of New South Wales, 1837. Dive into the raw and wild landscapes of early Sydney as settlers venture beyond their limits in search of fertile land, bravely cutting paths through the untamed Australian bush. Follow the journey of seventeen-year-old Kate Carter, who unknowingly steps into a land fraught with adventure, danger, and complex relationships among settlers and the Indigenous people of Australia. Encounter Bronzewing, a young man caught between two cultures — a settler's upbringing and his loyalty to the Aboriginal tribe he calls family. As tensions rise on this frontier, Kate and Bronzewing face challenges that threaten to tear their worlds apart. This novel not only explores the beauty of the Australian landscape but also highlights the resilience of its first people amidst conflict. With 432 pages of riveting storytelling, this B-format paperback invites readers to question who can truly be seen as friend or foe in a land of shifting loyalties.

From bestselling author Nicole Alexander comes an epic novel of bravery, loyalty and impossible love that takes the reader on a spellbinding journey from the streets of early Sydney to the heart of Australia's wild, untamed lands.
New South Wales, 1837, and settlers in search of fertile country are venturing far outside the colony. Literally cutting a swathe through the bush with their bare hands, they lay claim to territory beyond government jurisdiction - and the reach of the law.
As she accepts a position on one such farm, seventeen-year-old Kate Carter is unaware she is entering a land of outlaws, adventurers and murderous natives.
Because the first people of this new world will no longer accept the white man's advance, and retaliatory attacks on both sides have made it a frontier on the brink of war.
Into Kate's path comes Bronzewing, a young white man schooled by a settler family yet raised within an Aboriginal tribe. Caught between two worlds, Bronzewing strives to protect his adopted people and their vanishing civilisation.
But as he and Kate will discover, 'beyond the outer limits' is a beautiful yet terrifying place, where it's impossible to know who is friend and who is enemy . . .
