Summary
Both a courtroom drama and a road trip in the searing heat of the West Australian desert, Release is the story of two people confronting each other, each intent on destruction and survival.
‘Ever since I got here, I‘ve been scanning the courtroom, waiting for you. Even after everything, it is still always you, inside my head, inside me. Will it ever be any different?’
Ten years ago, 16-year-old Gemma Toombs was kidnapped from Bangkok Airport by an infatuated drifter, Tyler MacFarlane, who took her to a secret den in the Australian desert. Now her name is Kate Stone, and it’s her turn to confront Ty and try to find answers to the questions that have obsessed her since her ordeal.
What is the legacy of this coercive relationship? Who holds the cards now? In the confusion of past and present, will Kate remain trapped in a deranged dance of desire and revenge? Or will she regain control and find release?
A companion to Lucy Christopher’s best-selling novel Stolen, Release explores a young woman’s discovery of the complicated truth about a relationship that once seemed alluring.

Leave your preconceptions at the door
Lucy has managed to create a story that challenges what you think you want and what you want to think. The narrative switches direction exploring the internal conflicts of a girl wronged and a girl wanting more. At times the story goes directions that don’t feel comfortable but ultimately this brave story wins through. Narrated beautifully by the author too.

Fantastically gripping and beautiful read
This story was gripping and so well read that I couldn’t stop listening to it. The characters were completely believable and fully rounded and the plot kept me wanting to know more. Everything was so vivid, I feel like I too have been on a journey into the Australian outback with Gemma.
