An expanding historical epic

The Saga of Carolina

Before Carolina became a legend, it was a collision of kingdoms, ambitions, alliances, technologies, and lives. This series follows the people inside that collision.

The series

Four books. One formative century.

The Saga of Carolina is conceived as a sequence of interconnected historical novels set during the colony’s first century. Each volume stands on its own while widening the same world: African kingdoms, Indigenous nations, European empires, coastal settlements, privateers, physicians, traders, and people fighting to remain human inside systems built to use them.

The result is not a museum-piece past. It is a dramatic, morally complicated story about how Carolina was made—and how its earliest choices continue to echo.
