Beneath the blazing arc of a comet, Ned Kelly and his gang steel themselves for their final stand.
For two years, they’ve outwitted the police, sparked rebellion, and carved their names into legend. But legends are fragile. Betrayal festers, the noose tightens, and the law is closing in. As their fate hurtles toward Glenrowan, Ned—driven by fury and fate—tempers iron into something fearsome. Something unstoppable.
His gang wavers on the edge of destiny. Steve Hart masks his fear with sharp wit. Dan Kelly clings to faith in his brother. Joe Byrne, poet and marksman, sharpens both his knife and his resolve.
But in the bush, rebellion isn’t the only thing that burns. Beyond the firelight’s reach, where the water runs dark, something ancient stirs. As the gang braces for the bloodiest fight of their lives, they realize they are hunted—not just by the law, but by something far older… and far more malevolent.
These are the final days before the siege of Glenrowan.
The last stand of Ned Kelly.
