What The Nightingale is
Rain-lashed Tasmania. 1825. A bloodied hand clutches a stolen fowling piece. A young Irish convict follows a British officer’s boot prints deeper into the bush, a native tracker at her side whose silence is heavier than the cicadas. Both hunt vengeance across a land already hemorrhaging. One woman’s rifle, one man’s spear. A Black War vengeance Western.
