Greenstone Land unfolds a memorable saga set against the unique back ground of early New Zealand. In 1837 this distant outpost of British influence was a country without law. Here Juliette Peridot, the 7 year-old daughter of a trader in the Bay of Islands, witnesses the brutal murder of her mother, brother and sisters. Though she is taken into the care of a Mission family the nightmare haunts her young life. When Juliette's father marries a shipowner's widow, Maire Yardley, her destiny becomes entwined with her formidable step-family. Leigh, the indulged handsome younger son who loves her, spurns her then claims her when she no longer wants him, and Stephen, strong enough to withstand his mother's will but unable to protect Juliette from the final conflict she must face alone.
