#SixSentenceSunday: Sea of Green Unfolding Ch 2

A Sea of Green Unfolding, Book Three in The Long Trails series of Historical Fiction by equine vet turned author Lizzi Tremayne is my #SixSentenceSunday for the week.

“It just won’t work,” Aleksandra said to Molly, her voice filled with frustration.

Xavier could only shake his head and cover his mouth so she didn’t hear him laugh, as he leaned back against the wooden wall of the barn.

His bride-to-be lay sprawled in the dirt, brushing volumes of netting and shimmering silk away from her face, trying to shove them down toward her feet. She heaved a sigh and sat up, biting her lip, her forehead furrowed.

Molly gripped the end of Rogan’s reins with both hands. “I don’t think he likes the crinoline,” she threw over her shoulder, never taking her eyes from the bucking and snorting bay.

Sea of Green

About A Sea of Green Unfolding:

When you’ve lost everything, the only way to go is up…

Tragedy strikes in Aleksandra and Xavier’s newly-found paradise on their Californio Rancho de las Pulgas and newspaperman Gustavus von Tempsky invites them on a journey to a new life in New Zealand—where everyone lives together in peace.

Unfortunately, change is in the wind.

When they reach Aotearoa, they disembark into a turbulent wilderness—where the wars between the European settlers and the local Māori have only just begun—and von Tempsky is leading the colonial troops into the bush.
