This is the concluding book of the Shangri-la Trilogy. It covers the first year of Justin's marriage to Djet, an ambitious lawyer determined to promote the advancement of her Aboriginal people. They must face the challenges of integrating their very different backgrounds and career paths. Two characters, who throughout the story have been on the periphery of the action, Vincent Kaine and Mike Kells, now, for a brief moment, take centre stage, in a dramatic confrontation which will have important effects on Justin's future and his relationship with Djet. And it is fitting that Peter Fielding, whose arrival at Shangri-la so long ago began the story, has the final word.

This is a story of a family which links two cultures: that of the white Australian settlers of north west Queensland, and that of the First Nations culture. Book One of the Shangri-la Trilogy presents us with an unconventional family. Max Fielding had married a young Aboriginal girl, daughter of an Aboriginal couple who helped him run his property.

But on the day she arrives home from her last term at high school, a young policeman, Peter, her brother's friend, arrives with a horse.

This collection brings together the three short novels previously published, "Country Calling", "Justin's Quest" and "Confluence", together with "Whispers in the Wind", a collection of eight short stories bringing the family story up to 2023, just before the referendum to include the First Nations Voice in the Australian Constitution. The Shangri-la story reveals much of the veiled history of the colonisation of Australia, and hopefully provides a greater understanding of the struggle of First Nations people to be recognized as the original inhabitants of Australia. The story is told in the first book from the point of view of the white pastoralist family, but by the second and third books we begin to see the history through the eyes of Djet, as well as through the experiences of Justin. "Whispers in the Wind" is not exactly a sequel; the time span covered allows for only a series of vignettes to...
