BOOK THREE IN THE LONG TRAILS SERIES, FOLLOWING THE HILLS OF GOLD UNCHANGING. In A Long Trail Rolling, Lizzi Tremayne told the story of Aleksandra Lekarski, a trapper's daughter who finds herself alone in the mountains of Utah-and running to prevent her father's killer from discovering their family secret. The tale continues in The Hills of Gold Unchanging, and A Sea of Green Unfolding finds Aleksandra and Xavier in California. 1863 Rancho de las Pulgas, San Mateo County, California They set sail for the peace and calm of New Zealand, but they hadn't counted on murderers, mutineers, and a land war in paradise. SAN FRANCISCO BAY AND NEW ZEALAND, 1863. Aleksandra and Xavier have finally found happiness on their Rancho de las Pulgas, but tragedy and death strike far too soon. Sickened further by the U.S. government's treatment of their Native American friends, they only want out. Of everything. They are thrown a lifeline by an old friend of Xavier's from the California goldfields. This Gustavus von Tempsky, with his shadowed past, is now a newspaperman in Coromandel, New Zealand. His invitation draws them to a new start, with a part to play in the development of the peaceful young country-but by the time they arrive in Aotearoa, everything has changed. Aleks thought mutineers and scoundrels aboard ship were the worst of their worries, but she hadn't planned on disembarking into a turbulent wilderness and befriending the helpful local Maori, only to find von Tempsky leading the colonial troops into the bush against the natives who'd saved her life.

Reviews

'As usual in this series, the historical research is excellent and extremely detailed, and...well-integrated into the narrative. The description of the environs through which Lizzi Tremayne's characters travel are particularly good...lush and vibrant. In the New Zealand section of the novel, she makes our country sound like paradise. Which it is. There is one more volume to come after this, Tatiana, and I'm looking forward to it' -DEBORAH CHALLINOR, NUMBER ONE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF HISTORICAL FICTION AND HISTORICAL NON-FICTION
