It was supposed to be the start of a happy, new life ...
1862 - a group of young Australian women set sail for matrimony in Canada.
Their presence is withheld from the male passengers and all but a select few
members of the crew. But their worlds collide when one of the gentlemen
stumbles over the women.
When one of the intended brides goes missing, only Alyssa Chalmers, the
one educated, wealthy woman in the group, is convinced the disappearance
is no accident. She sets out to find out what happened.
Has there been a murder?
Alyssa is willing to move heaven and earth to find out the truth. She is about
to discover that there is more to her voyage into the unknown than she
bargained for.
