the Shadow and Rose

Alli's life was pure passion and her love for music and dance was what fuelled her. As tragedy and intrigue surround her she falls deeply in love with a man consumed by a hatred born in the terror of a bush war where members of his family were murdered, and that hatred remained imprisoned in his heart and in his life. Their lives become entangled through the Shadow and the Rose and Alli is forced to face a time of horror, bloodshed and fear to protect him from a truth that could send him over the edge. She finds solace in the arms of another and her compassion and determination to win the friendship of this man surpasses all and becomes a burning desire that her heart and life would not and could not relinquish. The realization that in truth she was in love with two men at the same time. But one would leave her heart sad and weeping.
