A Catalogue of Silences

Scones cool on the kitchen counter. Mandy chatters about boys and weekend plans. Everything about this morning visit feels achingly normal—except for the door standing ajar at the end of the hallway. Violet knows she shouldn't. She knows what it will cost if she's caught. But the study belongs to Detective Barry Glasson, and somewhere inside those walls are answers about Sally Harlow that no one else is willing to give. The handle turns easily. The lie she'll have to tell Mandy won't.

A Century of Silence

A sweltering classroom. A teacher who abandons his lesson. A story that shouldn't feel familiar but does. When Mr Clarke speaks of Emily Sullivan—a woman who vanished near Silverton in 1892—Violet's blood runs cold. The letters Emily wrote before she disappeared could have been penned by Sally Harlow herself. Wonder turning to dread. Shadows that move wrong. Then nothing. Nearly a century separates them. But the pattern is identical. The land remembers.

A Dallow Never Breaks

The chains remember everyone who struggled against them. Violet can feel it in the iron—decades of desperation worn into the metal itself. She wakes to candlelight and silence, to a chamber steeped in ritual and secrets, to the certainty that whoever brought her here has done this before. Many times before. But her mother's voice finds her in the dark: A Dallow never breaks.

Ceasefire

The Richards' house smells of lamb chops and eucalyptus polish. The television glows blue. The Breakfast Club plays to an audience of two girls wrapped in blankets, trading gossip about boys and weekend plans as though the world hasn't tilted on its axis. But Michelle's smile is stretched too thin, her laughter catching in places it shouldn't. And when she finally stops pretending, the words that spill out have nothing to do with Sally Harlow—and everything to do with war zones closer to home.

Chains in the Candlelight

Violet awakens bound in a hidden chamber, the flicker of candlelight revealing rituals etched into bone, crystal, and shadow. As a voice not of this world whispers her name, she realises her abduction is no mere crime of men but an initiation into something vast, ancient, and merciless.

Confession at First Light

Echoes from Silverton

In the suffocating heat of a morning history class, Mr Clarke abandons his usual droning lesson to recount the story of Emily Sullivan’s disappearance near Silverton. His words stir something uncanny in Violet, echoing too closely the mystery of Sally Harlow, and planting the seed of a dangerous curiosity.

Eyes Through the Gap

Violet should have run. Should have left Broken Hill High the moment she stepped out of Clarke's classroom. But the sounds from behind his door root her to the spot, and what she witnesses through a crack of light shatters more than just her innocence—it reveals the true face of the man teaching history to unsuspecting students.

Four Hands on the Table

The letter demanded secrecy. Violet couldn't carry it alone. By mid-morning, four girls sat cross-legged in Michelle's living room, the frantic scrawl spread between them like a map to somewhere none of them should go. They made plans. They made lists. Then they made a promise—hands stacked together in amber light, voices low and fierce. Nothing leaves this circle. Some oaths are sealed in blood. This one would cost more.

Harmless

The bus rattles through ochre emptiness, thirty girls trading laughter and contraband lollies, dreaming of midnight feasts and stolen adventures. Mandy promises this will be the best week of their lives. Michelle plots pranks. Rebecca speaks of stars. And Violet watches the land scroll past—vast enough to swallow secrets, vast enough to swallow girls—and tries to believe the knot in her stomach is only nerves. Then the bus stops. And she sees who's waiting by the cabins.

Headlights on Sulphide Street

Leaving the cemetery behind, Violet finds herself stalked through Broken Hill’s sleeping streets by the low hum of an unseen car. Every step home becomes a desperate race, as the quiet town turns predator beneath the glare of chasing headlights.

Memorising the Light

Toast catches at the edges. Coffee steams in familiar mugs. Jasmine's hair is still tangled from sleep. It's just another morning in the Dallow house—except Violet is memorising it. The slant of light across the kitchen tiles. The scrape of her mother's knife on bread. The rustle of her father's newspaper, lowered too often, his eyes finding hers with something he won't name. When she fastens the family locket around Jasmine's neck, she tells herself it's just for safekeeping. Just until she returns.

One Footprint Remaining

The air tastes like old pennies. Mandy says her grandmother called it the taste of spirits pressing close—strongest in places where the veil wears thin. The stars have never burned so bright, so cold, so indifferent. And the building ahead pulses wrong in the moonlight, its walls shifting like something dreaming. Violet tells herself it's just shadows. Just nerves. Just the Outback playing tricks. She's about to learn what the land does to girls who wander too far from the fire.

Operation Silverton

Gathered around Michelle’s kitchen table, Violet and her friends find comfort in muffins, laughter, and shared dreams—but their talk soon shifts to the unresolved disappearance haunting Broken Hill.

Pages of the Silver Queen

Promises That Won't Keep

Over the clink of dishes and the smell of lemon soap, Violet makes her sister a promise: soon. Jasmine can join the adventures, explore the forbidden places, see what lies beyond the fences. It's a small word, easily spoken. Then there's Ethan—the boy in the long coat who speaks of spirits among gravestones. Jasmine notices. Sisters always do. Some promises are made to be broken. Others never get the chance.

Secrets in the Downpour

The sky breaks open over Broken Hill. Violet and Jasmine run for shelter, crashing through the arcade doors and into a stranger with ice-blue eyes who watches a moment too long before vanishing into the rain. Inside, Mandy waits with a discovery: an old art book, forgotten for decades, and a note folded between its pages. "The truth lies within the art. Seek the brush that paints in shadows." The storm outside is nothing compared to what's gathering within.

Stories Are Harder to Bury

Four days of searching. Four days of hope fraying into dread. And then, at dawn, Constable Harris finds what everyone feared and no one wanted to believe. She's been arranged against the gaol wall like a message—candles in the dust, bruises on her wrists, her face turned toward the empty street. Detective Glasson's voice crackles through the radio: Keep it quiet. Just another runaway. But Harris looks at her and knows some names can't be buried. Some deaths become stories. And stories have a way of spreading.

The Ballad of Marree

The Brush That Paints in Shadows

As a storm batters Broken Hill, Violet and Jasmine take refuge in the town arcade, where an unsettling encounter gives way to a discovery in Mandy’s hands: a cryptic note hidden within an old art book. But in a town where gossip travels faster than rain, secrets surface in whispers that feel dangerously close to home.

The Engine That Follows

The warmth of Ethan's arms dissolves into September darkness the moment Violet steps beyond the cemetery gates. Broken Hill's familiar streets have become something else—silent, watchful, waiting. Then she hears it: the low, deliberate hum of an engine somewhere behind her. Too slow. Too measured. The headlights find her before she can find safety. In a town where people vanish without explanation, Violet Dallow has just become prey.

The Fire and the Knife

Drawn to a fire in the scrub, the girls stumble upon Michelle’s brother and his friend, whose presence out here feels more unsettling than reassuring. When the boys’ careless laughter collides with grim warnings and a sudden, suffocating fear, Violet realises some threats hide not in shadows—but in plain sight around the flames.

The Girl Against the Wall

The Hand She Didn't Mention

Sleep offers no escape. The moment Violet closes her eyes, the Outback claims her—endless ochre plains stretching toward a horizon that shimmers with false promises. Something pursues her through the dreaming dust, patient and deliberate, and when she falls within reach of a building that shouldn't exist, she knows exactly what waits behind her. Dawn brings her sister's worried eyes and a question Violet cannot fully answer. Some truths are too sharp to share completely.

The Land Has Moods

A schoolyard. Four friends. One folded newspaper passed between them like a secret that refuses to stay hidden. Violet shares Sally Harlow's disappearance, and something shifts—a shared recognition that this isn't just news. It's a thread. Rebecca speaks of her grandmother's warnings: the land decides who stays and who doesn't. Storm clouds mass on the horizon. The bell rings, but what's begun won't wait for lessons to end.

Inside, Detective Barry Glasson barks orders and paces like a man chasing something he cannot see.

Joel Gibbons had never been anywhere. Hadn't finished school. Hadn't met his father. Hadn't done much except show up for his mum and hope that counted for something.
