Title: The Ghosts of August: Colonial Series Book 6
Author: Peter Watt

In The Ghosts of August, bestselling author Peter Watt transports readers to the onset of World War I, where the Steele family faces challenges that will reshape their legacy. It’s 1914, and tensions are mounting globally. In Sydney, Josiah Steele, the new family patriarch, is trying to guide his two sons: David, responsible and loyal, and Benjamin, a restless soul drawn to risk. To rein in Ben’s wild side, Josiah sends him on a trade mission—right into enemy territory as the storm of war begins to break.

As Australia joins the global conflict, David and Ben are drawn into the first Australian offensive in German New Guinea, marking the beginning of years of combat that will see them stationed across Egypt, Palestine, and the brutal Western Front. With vivid battle scenes and a rich portrayal of family bonds tested by war, The Ghosts of August is an unforgettable saga of loyalty, sacrifice, and resilience.
