The sequel to Maurice Gee' s The Severed Land, written by Tony Chapelle, authorised and endorsed by Maurice Gee' This sequel captures the essence of my novel and takes my characters on a tense and dangerous journey through the world of The Severed Land. ' - Maurice GeePicking up where The Severed Land left off, this suspense-filled novel continues the story of the brave ex-slave Fliss. Despite her idyllic life behind the safety of the wall, she can' t help longing for someone special to fill the vague sense of loneliness that nags at her. That is until a young man appears, preaching peace and unity. His arrival, however, is about to send Fliss and her friend Minnie back through the wall on a hazardous mission. There' s danger at every corner, perilous journeys and always the threat of betrayal and capture.
Tony Chapelle had a professional life as a historian, mainly in schools and universities in the South Pacific. Over the past few decades he has concentrated on creative writing, and has published Original Sin, a book of short stories, many of them award-winning, and a sequence of four novels for adults- Merely a Girl, The Youngest Son, A Distant Belonging, and Kindred. He lives in Palmerston North with his daughter and granddaughters. NZ Booklovers wrote of Kindred, his most recent work- ' This is a beautiful book from start to finish. It is polished and perfectly weighted . . . . So sad, and so beautifully captured by the writer. ' He has been short-listed and won a number of New Zealand short story competitions and was awarded a NZ Society of Authors mentorship with Sue McCauley. Maurice Gee described the character of Chapelle' s first novel as ' tough, energetic, frustrated, vulnerable and not always admirable. A thoroughly believable young woman. '
