Where the series began. Astral, Orleans, Lucien, and Florine. Escaping St. Domingue with nothing more than the clothes on his back, Frenchman Jean Claude Le Noireau drops anchor in Scotland Bay, in the Spanish colony of Trinidad at the turn of the 19th century. His arrival is the loom upon which a generational saga of triumph over abandonment is woven, and a window into a Trinidad you never knew existed.
