THE BRINGER OF FIRE

2024 GOLD MEDAL WINNER (Global Book Awards) - Deep in the Outback, Yara must fight for her life, her dreams, and her soul. -- "Grabs you by the throat on page one and doesn't let go until the last sentence!"

Yara has dedicated her entire adult life to saving the Amazon rain forest. But when her biggest opportunity to make an impact takes her to Australia, she is totally unprepared for what lies in store.

Her mission is to steal an ultra-rare red diamond from a yacht in Sydney Harbor and trade it to a rich Australian (Murray) for his huge minerals concession in the Amazon. She acquires the diamond, but the theft turns tragic. Devastated, Yara reluctantly continues her mission, only to learn that Murray has sent surrogates to take her to his ranch. Now at the mercy of an Aboriginal guide (Djalu) and the Aussie "wildman" (Blue), she weathers a ferocious storm and life-threatening injury which delay her even more. On top of that, she discovers that the diamond's fanatical owner (Ingram) is pursuing her and will stop at nothing to get his diamond back.

THE BRINGER OF FIRE is a story of hopes and dreams foiled by malice, the many dangers of the Outback, and stunning surprises. At the same time, it is a tale of the depth of human resilience and love. -- "A perfect mixture of survival adventure, psychological suspense and unadulterated adrenaline." --Amazon reader
