Exile

He was torn from everything he knew and dropped into a wilderness that wanted him dead, with nothing but his hands and his wits.

Boundless McLennan, a Scottish printer, arrives in the American colonies as an indentured convict, certain his life is over.

It hasn't even begun.

Britain and France are carving up a continent. The frontier runs on violence and possibility in equal measure, and the plains beyond it are black with buffalo. Boundless breaks for freedom and sets out to build the one thing the old world never gave him: a home, a family, a name of his own. First he has to survive long enough to earn it.

Exile opens Monuments of Grass, a five-book saga tracing America from colony to nation. For readers of Michener and Follett who like to be carried into other times and other lives. You won't want to come back.
