Rose is a Siley—an asylum seeker—and she has escaped from Ramage, who had enslaved her and her younger sister, Kas. Rose is desperate, sick, and needs Finn’s help. Kas is still missing somewhere out in the bush.And Ramage wants the girls back—at any cost.Finn, Rose and Kas try their hardest to look after each other in the harsh post-apocalyptic world.

There are no superheroes, no magical powers to help them out of life-threatening situations.A novel about honor, friendship and love, and a gripping realist teen survival narrative.Mark Smith runs outdoor education programs for young adults. His writing has won a number of awards. The Road to Winter is his first book. He lives in coastal Victoria, Australia.

    Paperback (Text Publishing Company, April 17, 2018)
    Finn, Kas and Willow have survived the winter. Storms have kept the Wilders away. Now that spring has come, they’re being hunted again. Ramage wants their blood. But Finn and Kas made a promise to Rose―to find her baby and bring her back. And finding Hope means finding the dangerous Wilders. As the trio walk into the arms of danger its the girls who prove themselves to be brave, adaptable and tough. A worthy sequel to the author's Kirkus-starred debut.
  • Land of Fences

    Mark Smith

    Paperback (Text Publishing Company, Sept. 10, 2019)
    Finn and Kas are surviving on the coast―more than surviving: they’re enjoying the surf, the summer and being together. And now, the lights of Wentworth mean life could soon be back to normal. Finn is cautiously optimistic, but Kas knows she can never escape her status as a refugee, and that a return to slavery is a very real possibility. She’s nervous. And it turns out she’s right to be. When Kas is captured and taken inside the fences, Finn faces his greatest challenge yet. Taut and compelling―an exceptional conclusion to the Wilder Trilogy for teens, about resilience and self-reliance.
