Soon after the Great War, the Traverne family abandoned England for Australia, but within weeks of their arrival in Perth, they met the man who would change their lives - Rommey Guy, political maverick, newspaper entrepreneur, raconteur, mining magnate and charming fraud.

The enigmatic Romney Guy manipulates the hopes, fears, and changing fortunes of the Traverne family and the love affair between Jack Traverne and Diana Guy at every twist and turn. Until, at last, amidst the mounting turmoil of the Depression years and secessionist movement, the Travernes are forced to take a stand.
