Moon Of The Long Night is the sequel to Moon Of The Sleeping Bear, the second book in the series. Watch for Moon Of The Falling Leaves, to be released in 2007. Long Night takes the reader on a memorable journey hard to forget. The story picks up where Sleeping Bear left off. Cord is missing and presumed dead . . . but is he? Dax, in love with his brother’s wife, can no longer sit idly by waiting for news of Cord’s fate. He hires on as a scout for the Army and sets off for Arizona territory, hoping to leave his love and tormenting memories of Wynter far behind. Will thousands of miles of rugged terrain dispel his anguish? Sage and Wynter, along with Peter Pa, traverse the windswept plains of Dakota Territory with one purpose in mind, only to encounter the wrath of the renegade warrior, Mad Bear and his bloodthirsty braves. Mixed into the lot are a cast of secondary characters that will steal your heart and transport you to another time and place!
For twenty years, Wynter has been separated from her twin, Sage, and only through a series of ironic twists and turns of fate are they finally reunited. When the blazing fires of the Dakota uprising sweep across the windswept plains of Minnesota, Wynter is taken hostage by the Sioux and sold to French traders. Her husband, Cord Oliver, is missing and presumed dead, leaving her daring rescue in the hands of the one man who has stolen her heart and a sister she has never known.
Moon of the Sleeping Bear is a sweeping epic of betrayal, honor and love.
