Historical]]> One of the earliest books about St. Augustine, this historical novel retells the story of the Huguenot settlement at Ft. Caroline in Jacksonville. It details the power struggle between the French Huguenots, the English Anglicans, and the Catholic Spanish, as well as the land dispute they had in the New World. This book focuses on the French Huguenot’s journey with a more balanced view than normal on the disputes between the Spanish and the French.

Other notable local locations visited include Matanzas Inlet and Anastasia Island.

After encountering a hurricane that washes them ashore, Pedro and Maria—the children of the newly-appointed vice-governor of Florida—find themselves the only survivors of a convoy that was supposed to deliver them, their father, and others to the colony of Florida. Although they are taken in by the governor and his wife, Pedro and Maria sneak away from St. Augustine in search of their father, who Pedro believes is still alive. Pedro and Maria are captured by the Yemassee and they learn their father is a prisoner of the Apalachees.
