Some secrets will not stay buried…
Haunted by a chilling prophecy that foretold the death of her father, Fern was given up for adoption at birth by a mother desperate to protect them both. Now, twenty years later, Fern lives in Sydney, plagued by an unshakable sense of danger and the feeling that someone—or something—is watching her.
Driven to uncover the secrets of her origins, Fern finds unlikely allies in Cassie, a troubled clairvoyant cursed with second sight, and Adam, a tormented ex-soldier battling demons of his own. As they journey deep into the labyrinthine depths of the Tasmanian wilderness, Fern is forced to confront not only the shadows of her past lives but the mysterious prophecy that has stalked her since birth.
Interwoven with myth and metaphor, Flight is metaphysical thriller and love story that weaves together psychological suspense and magical realism in a powerful gothic tale of identity, fate, and self-discovery.
