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.

"Utterly compelling, clever, heart-stopping." (Jo Nadin, author of The Talk of Pram Town)

"Dark, compelling and unsettling." (Claire Kendal, author of I Spy)

I first read Stolen when I was still a teenager. I wouldn’t say it traumatized me, that word feels too heavy and negative but it definitely shaped me and stayed with me for more than a decade.
By chance, I recently discovered that there is a second book, Release. All the emotions came rushing back, rising and falling in a confusing mix that was hard to untangle.
Even so, I’m grateful that I was finally able to find some kind of peace with the “ending” of the story, at least to a certain extent. I still have many questions, and yet somehow I feel like I can answer them for myself.
This is simply a very special book, with a unique writing style and an unforgettable setting. There is something about it that lingers long after you finish it. I truly love it.
I would even welcome a third book, although I believe that Lucy Christopher has chosen to conclude the story with the second one.
