There are lights on the horizon. Electricity. Order. A return to civilisation.

After three years cut off, living by their wits in the bush, Finn and Kas might at last find a life without danger and threat.

But the tracking device beneath Kas’s skin begins to buzz—she can’t ignore that she is a Siley, a slave, and will never be free. And when the search parties arrive, with brutal force, Finn and Kas face a new reality—a world divided by fences, a world where they can’t be together.

But after everything they’ve been through, they’re not about to play by the rules.

Land of Fences by Mark Smith expertly weaves a tale of survival and resistance in a fractured world on the brink of recovery. It delves into themes of freedom, love, and defiance. As readers follow Finn and Kas on this gripping journey, they will be challenged to ponder the true meaning of civilisation and the cost it demands.
