Once they fought against each other for the land, now they fight together to
protect it.
This third book in the Kiwis at War series follows Leith, a young Scots-born
lad from Otago, who has been fighting in Gallipoli. Much to his disgust, and
that of his fellow Otago Mounted Rifles contingent, after the evacuation of
Gallipoli they are merged with incoming new Maori contingents to become
the ‘Pioneer Battalion’ – building barracks, roads and digging trenches. There is
some antagonism between the two factions, and when Leith befriends Tamati,
a young Maori lad who has lied about his age to enlist, they are ridiculed from
both sides. But as time goes by, and they are all sent to dig trenches at the
Somme, a grudging respect for each other is built up amongst the men.

World War I
• Each book in the series is written by a top New Zealand author and features

continue — but nothing is as it seems. In both summers, she will fall in love and discover new sides of herself.
What may break her, though, is a terrible family secret, one she can’t hide from anywhere. In the end, it might
