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 Māori, only to find von Tempsky leading the colonial troops into the bush against the natives who'd saved her life.
