Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Europe taught Maggie Bathory how to survive.Australia will teach her how to build something that can survive without her.After centuries of persecution, reinvention and blood-soaked experimentation, Maggie and her family leave London behind and cross the world carrying a fortune, a secret, and a treatment powerful enough to make death negotiable.Australia offers what Europe no longer can: distance.Land.And people the world has already learned not to look for too closely.In the brutal young colony, Maggie finds former convicts, labourers, widows and forgotten men willing to follow a wealthy woman north in exchange for work, food and the possibility of a future. On an enormous stretch of tropical Queensland country, the Bathorys begin again.A farm rises.Then houses.A store. A bakery. A pub.A town.Wanga.But Maggie has learned that immortality creates problems long before it solves them.Some of Wanga's first settlers are offered the Bathory treatment.Most are not.Some families grow old normally.Others begin producing generations that look disturbingly familiar.Names change. Photographs disappear. Fathers become sons. Daughters inherit faces they should not possess.And slowly, quietly, Wanga learns its most important lesson: Bathory protects Wanga.Wanga protects Bathory.No contract is required.No meeting is held.The rule simply becomes part of the town.Until somebody decides to leave.From convict-era Australia to war, modern bureaucracy, missing families, impossible roads and the creation of Bathory Farm Stay & Retreat, Book Two of The Road to Wanga reveals how one family's search for immortality became something far more dangerous.A community.A tradition.An inheritance.And underneath it all, Maggie Bathory is still making pies.Some places keep their history in books.Wanga eats its own.…
