More about the book

The narrative centers on Rene-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, whose ambitious exploration led to the claiming of vast territories for France in 1682. His tragic murder by his crew during a failed mission to Texas marks a pivotal moment in history. The book explores the intriguing possibility of an alternative North America, where a French-speaking empire could have flourished, characterized by Catholicism and a significant role for Native peoples, reshaping the continent's cultural and political landscape.
