Historical
In 1661, Lucas Turner, a barber surgeon, and his sister,
Sally, an apothecary, stagger off a small wooden ship after
eleven weeks at sea. Bound to each other by blood and
necessity, they aim to make a fresh start in the rough and
rowdy Dutch settlement of Nieuw Amsterdam; soon lust,
betrayal, and murder will make them mortal enemies. In their
struggle to survive in the New World, Lucas and Sally make
choices that will burden their descendants with a legacy of
secrets and retribution, and create a heritage that sets
cousin against cousin, physician against surgeon, and,
ultimately, patriot against Tory. In what will be the greatest city in the New World, the
fortunes of these two families are inextricably entwined by
blood and fire in an unforgettable American saga of pride
and ambition, love and hate, and the becoming of the dream
that is New York City.
