THE STOLEN

The 1870s.

“Young Charlotte Lockton has settled in the South Island of New Zealand with her wealthy British husband, David. But her dreams of a new life and prosperous future are violently shattered when David is murdered at their home and her baby son is kidnapped.

After months of waiting for her the return of her child—and frustrated with the apathy of the authorities—when a ransom note arrives she realises that her only option will be to track him down on her own.

And so begins her journey through the wilds of an untamed New Zealand, bringing her into contact with the people populating this new civilisation: from suffragettes to gamblers, settlers to hustlers, outlaws to a native Maori warrior.

Charlotte’s quest forces her to join a convoy of hookers, dancers and ex-convicts heading cross-country for Goldtown, one of the many mining communities that has grown suddenly and swiftly on the island.  Despite their different backgrounds, all the women on the wagon with Charlotte have found themselves on the fringes of this new society. And, now, Charlotte is no different. Together, they face hostile attacks from both man and nature.”
