The Passions of Princes

A 21st-century novel about Louisiana's colonial period, and the demise of French power on the North American continent before the end of the 1700s..

At the dawn of 1733, when this story begins, three European empires compete for dominance in America. There is every reason to believe that France will be victorious and that someday North America, from sea to sea, will be French..."
