December 1862 finds Wynter McCain Oliver's heart split
between Cord, her husband who's still missing and presumed
dead, and his brother, Dax, who's the father of her son,
Fenn. When we last left Wynter, she was adjusting to
discovering she had a twin sister, Sage, who'd been raised
by midwife Lucette Denzer and Peter Pa in Minnesota, not
far from where Wynter came to reside with relatives. Also,
the recent Indian uprisings in Minnesota left many empty
chairs at the table, including those close to Wynter. As
one storm settles, another one begins.
Wynter feels deep in her heart that Cord is still alive and
is torn because of her feelings for Dax. And Dax, knowing
that he can't pursue Wynter, takes off for the Arizona
Territory to work as an army scout, hoping the distance
will make it easier to move on. But the thought of leaving
his son behind creates an even bigger dilemma. Adding to
the stress is that Dax truly wants his brother to be found
alive, but he can't bear the thought of seeing Wynter is
Cord's arms.
Tragedy strikes Wynter and Sage yet again, leading them on
a journey accompanied by Peter Pa through Sioux territory.
On their way home, they're captured by a renegade band of
Indians led by Mad Bear. In the meantime, Dax has become
disgruntled with the Army's Indian solution and heads home
to Minnesota. Will he return in time to save them, and will
Cord be discovered dead or alive? The answers to these
questions are waiting to be discovered in the pages of this
great book.
K. Celeste Bryan's MOON OF THE LONG NIGHT is the
sequel to MOON OF THE SLEEPING BEAR. This latest, long-
awaited story revisits the wonderful characters who were
introduced in the first book and brings to life a few more
colorful individuals and storylines. Many series require
each book to be read in order. However, Ms. Bryan has
cleverly detailed this sequel with just enough information
from the first book that it definitely stands on its own.
Her writing is rich in detail and the story is so
intriguing that it's well worth reading both books.
I've enjoyed this series so much that it saddens me that
it's finished. However, Ms. Bryan will be releasing more
titles in the weeks to come that will, without a doubt,
provide the same style and finesse that I love about her
writing. Upcoming titles to watch for are SOJOURN WITH A
STRANGER, SKY TINTED WATER and BENEATH A CRIMSON SKY.
