Charlotte

Alice Springs. 1980.
One house. One child. One day that changes everything.

When Angel's mother locks their home against her violent husband, she believes she can stop what is coming. She is wrong. As secrets linked to Pine Gap and covert operations surface, the small suburban house becomes a trap, and a ten-year-old girl is forced to run for her life.

Waiting beyond the back fence is Charlotte—a wedge-tailed eagle whose watchful presence has always felt like protection.

What follows is brutal, unforgettable, and final.

Charlotte is a raw and atmospheric short novel about domestic terror, childhood resilience, and the thin, miraculous line between survival and loss.
