Description
Based on true events. Etienne’s story continues in America in 1663 as he must chart his course through a dangerous New World.
A double wedding is interrupted with news of a Esopus attack on the Dutch settlement of Wiltwyck. Women and children were taken hostage and a nearby village was burned to the ground. The whole colony is now preparing for war and his Lenape friends have not returned. Etienne will have to choose sides. Both choices demand great sacrifice and risk the lives of those he loves.
