*****
Winter, 1889.
Jack’s back.
After months in hiding by the seaside while the dust of Percival Fitzwilliam’s death settles, Jack Thomas returns to Brisbane with Louisa, hoping at last to begin the life he fought so hard to claim.
But the colony has a long memory.
Louisa is pregnant, and the child must remain secret while the shadow of her late husband, Percival Fitzwilliam, still looms over the city’s powerful families. While Jack settles into a life of silk sheets and butlers, whispers about the past begin to circulate once more. Fortune seekers begin to circle. Justice seekers come looking for answers. Beyond the city, the diggings begin to stir. From the drawing rooms of Brisbane society to the camps of the goldfields, pressure starts to build, and the fragile life Jack and Louisa have created starts to crack.
Because when the reckoning comes, someone always pays the price.

Absolute joy to receive these well packaged and lovely to read books
I read Reckoning very quickly and enjoyed the expansion Jack and Louisa, the righteousness of those with affluence and the your telling of the hard life of a gold digger. Percival’s mistress and her cunning ways. The ease at which Cynthia could turn the tides to her own advantage would surely have been the traps many a man has fallen into.
I was saddened by the death of Charlie.
I must go back to the Hollows and read them both again.
Thank you for your storytelling and all the effort you have put into getting these books ready for distribution.
I am a very happy bookworm!📖🪱
Foster I am hoping there will be a book 3 and Book 4 in this series about Jack his son and what becomes of the mine.
As with the first instalment this is a thoroughly enjoyable read. Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys Australian historical fiction or if you just want to read something a bit different(but make sure you read book 1 -The Hollows first!)
I love the Reckonig, couldn’t put it down, loved the story, great job Foster Burton
Fabulous read .
Can't wait for the next book 😍
