Passionate young violinist Phoebe Raye pursues a deadly vendetta despite her father's warnings and her yearning for love and fulfilment.

Leaving Sydney, Australia, Phoebe travels via Istanbul to Vienna, Austria and enters a cultured and complex society fraught with political tension and besieged by a malignant foreign aggressor.

Witness to the unbridled hatred unleashed by the Anschluss as her own situation turns perilous, how will Phoebe resolve her mother's death by violence unavenged?

A poignant account of individual predicament amidst social turmoil, By Violence Unavenged is the first volume of In the Hearts of Kings, an epic trilogy exploring the perennial themes of justice and mercy, revenge and forgiveness.

'A truly fine story and an enthralling read. Very much recommended!' - Regina Doman

'Descriptive panache, engaging pace and memorable characters ... clearly written by a musician, a kind of polyphonic saga, with the interweaving themes of war, history, suffering and the search for truth.' - Wanda Skowronska
