Rowan Hayes

Rowan Hayes grew up on the edges of endless horizon in the Northern Territory, a place where he was left behind as a child and found by the roadhouse owner who took him in. Raised among the hum of cattle and the crackling tension of wildfires, his life revolved around the station, the animals, and the inevitability of nature's fury. He became a wildfire lookout, obsessively attentive to the rhythms of fire and the silence of clocks, finding solace in the exactness of tasks and the hope of preventing catastrophe.
