A Secret Army That Will Save - or Destroy
Lomond, an Australian country town that's going downhill fast. Then the mysterious Lucy Byrd arrives out of nowhere and decides to turn Lomond's luck around. Jude Martin wants to belive in Lucy. Daniel Matheson isn't sure about her. Serenity Cox is unwillingly fascinated by her plans for a girls' militia.
But when Lucy's plans become a complicated tangle of local politics, media madness and secret armies, none of the people in the town can really guess whether she's going to save Lomond or destroy it.
