The first volume consists of the first three books in the series. First is Sackett’s Land, which begins with an unlikely discovery that changes Barnabus Sackett’s life forever. Accused of a crime he never committed, Barnabus is forced to give up his lands in The Fens, where he was born, and flee from arrest by the Queen’s officers. Seeking a fresh start, he ventures to the New World. Once he’s seen the vast forests and bounty of the land, he’s convinced that’s his destiny. To the Far Blue Mountains—the second book—documents Barnabus’s harrowing journey to the land of his dreams, where he starts a family with Abigail and a group of good friends he’s made along the way. The third book, The Warrior’s Path, tells the story of Yance and Lin Ring, two of Barnabus and Abigail’s sons, both born and raised in the wilderness of Virginia. Lin travels to Jamaica on a mission to stop slavers from kidnapping young white girls from the colonies. After almost dying for what he believes in, he brings Diana home to a settlement called Shooting Creek, where they make a home. ( )
