    About this audiobook

    When do you risk everything for love?


    Maddalena and Aaliya Reiner have not been close as sisters, but the distance between them widens after the death of their mother. 


    While Aaliya is irresistibly drawn into a passionate and hidden love affair, her sister finds comfort in marriage with a politically powerful and wealthy man.


    But desire can be deadly and the kingdom of Traegos is becoming a dangerous place. When the dark web of politics and power begins to ensnare the kingdom’s inhabitants, choice and chance collide leaving the sisters with few options left to survive. 


    The River and the Ravages is a story of identity and freedom, tragedy and betrayal. It’s a novel about who we are seen to be versus who we believe ourselves to be, and the ways in which we will risk everything for love.


    The River and the Ravages is the start of a gripping fantasy trilogy. 


    Contains mature content. Not suitable for younger readers.

    ’Written in very clear and beautiful prose, JM Lawler's novel is both inspiring and entertaining. This is one of the finest books I have read on women's issues, a book with characters that are real.'

    J M Lawler

    J. M. Lawler (first name Jann) grew up devouring doomed love stories and drawing her favorite tragic characters. Then she didn’t draw them so much and began writing more. Either way, hunched over a desk exploring her mind has been her path. Having completed a Political Science and Korean language degree at the Australian National University, Jann went on to to nothing remotely associated with politics or Korean. She’s the mother of two young adults, but has also been a Police Officer, Intelligence Analyst, speech writer, lazy rock climber, and wannabe intrepid explorer. Jann prides herself on writing historical romance with an edge. She loves to transport readers to a world where love is a perilous undertaking, the heroes and heroines are endearing but flawed, and lessons are learned the hard way.  She lives in Adelaide with her children in a house where the floorboards sag under the weight of books, where chooks rule the backyard, and the bathroom could do with a good clean.   The River and the Ravages is her first book. She is currently working on the follow up novel, The Tempest and the Turning. Sign up for her newsletter at www.jmlawler.com
