When twelve-year-old Nell crashes her sailboat into a submerged house in the lake, she stumbles into a treasure hunt that plunges her into a generations-old family feud.<br/><br/>Things begin to take a sinister turn as the adults get involved, and Nell has no choice but to team up with her neighbour and family rival, Charlie. As friendships begin to morph and stretch, can these two unlikely allies end the feud and work out the treasure's secrets, or will their rivalry lead to one last epic betrayal?<br/><br/><b>'This story is a treasure submerged in character, mystery and heart.' - Nean McKenzie, author of</b> <b><i>Cryptosight, Xenoflight</i></b> <b>and</b> <b><i>Timefire</i></b><br/><br/><b>'A page-turning adventure, filled with mystery and heart - I adored True South!' - Anna Battese, author of the</b><b><i> P.D McPem Mysteries</i></b><br/><br/><b>'True South capsizes the notion of a sleepy rural life when friendships (and long-standing grudges) are put to the test in the race to resurface drowned secrets.
