Beyond the Shadows (ePub)

Beyond the Shadows by Beryl Armstrong is the gripping sequel to the popular saga Where Shadows Fall (Book Guild Publishing, 2008). Drama, conflict and romance follows the Herrington family as they struggle through the increasingly intense World War II. The Herrington family, who reside in New Zealand, are threatened by the Japanese onslaught throughout the Pacific Ocean. Tom Herrington's son Jack, who is captain of a merchant ship, is caught up in the disastrous Pearl Harbour attack. In a later battle he is taken hostage. When his ship is captured by the Japanese, Jack fears for his life. Luckily he finds a way to escape using the knowledge of his father's ancient secret - but that's not the only secret the Herrington family have... The theft of two prized, thoroughbred horses triggers consequences far beyond the Herrington family's imagination. As Tom searches for the lost animals, he stumbles across a lifeless body in a cave in the New Zealand foothills. How could the horses disappear from the remote sheep station? And, more accurately, who stole them? And why was a body abandoned in a cave? As the mysterious plot unfolds, life will never be the same for the Herrington family. They hoped that the remote sheep station in the unforgiving outback would allow them to finally escape their past, but destiny has its own agenda and history has a nasty habit of repeating itself. The deadly secret that Tom had endeavoured to keep hidden slowly unwinds and presents further emotional turmoil for the family...
