Description
London, 1843.
Eleven-year-old Samuel Scott watches his father die at the hands of a ruthless killer—and is forced to run for his life.
Ten years later, Samuel is haunted and driven by a single unanswered question: who killed his father, and why? Hunted by a violent London gang and torn by forbidden love, Samuel discovers the truth at last: his father’s murderer has been transported as a convict to Australia. With nothing left to lose, Samuel boards a ship bound for Melbourne alongside his formidable best friend, Jed O’Donoghue.
The voyage is brutal. Storms rage, tempers flare, and a gang enforcer intent on killing Samuel stalks the decks.
But, the real reckoning begins on the Victorian goldfields, where fortune-seekers from Australia, Britain, Ireland, Europe, and America collide with corruption, cruelty, and colonial power. Under the iron fist of the feared Flying Demons police unit, miners are subjected to weekly ‘digger hunts’, where they are beaten, imprisoned, and driven to rebellion.
As unrest builds toward the historic Eureka Rebellion uprising, Samuel uncovers the man responsible for his father’s murder—now closer than ever, and more dangerous than he imagined. With the Southern Cross flag raised, the Eureka Stockade erupts in bloodshed, and Samuel must choose between justice and vengeance, truth and hatred.
EUREKA! is a sweeping, visceral historical novel of revenge, brotherhood, love, and revolution—set against the true story of the Eureka Rebellion and explosive birth of Australian democracy. Perfect for fans of epic historical fiction, gold-rush adventure, and morally complex heroes.
