Take me home where the red pindan stains your toes, where the stars pierce through the sky and the tides run high. Take me home to the Boab tree, to the big sky country. Take me home to where my heart beats fast and my lungs are full, Where the horses gallop and the dust roars, where the cattle pads run thick through the scrub. Take me home where the water runs clear, over waterfalls, down the river and into the soul. Where the sea glistens electric turquoise and the whales breach, Where the air is so warm you can taste it and your salty skin, a crisp brown. Take me home to that magical spirit place, Take me home to the Kimberley.

One winter a Lord (and mapmaker) and his son come to her town and request her and her servant Burl as escorts through the land. When a storm separates the group, Gwyn finds shelter in an old cottage with the Lord’s son where they spend months trapped in by the snow. They learn from each other, he grows humble and even teaches her how to read and write and she teaches him how to fight with a staff. In the cottage, since they’re there for about two months, she discovers the outfit of a legendary outlaw hidden in a cupboard. After winter passes and they return home, instead of embracing marriage and what her family wishes for her, she uses the outfit to ride around and bring justice to the land, righting wrongs and such. In the end she is wounded by soldiers while dressed as the legendary vigilante and has to hide in that same cottage while she heals. Burl the servant and her brother take care of her and notify her that their village and her family think she’s run away with a man. She disguised herself as an old woman and sneaks back into her village with the help of Burl and her brother. Around this time the mapmaker lord and his son return and she decides to leave and serve them and start a new life. Burl decides to go with her and they ride off together. The book suggests from the very beginning that Burl has feelings for her in a very Gabriel Oak sort of way. He’s always loyal but doesn’t hold back from calling her out on shit. It also gives me a lot of Gendrya feels. I really want to read it again! Someone read this with me!
