NEW WORLD SAGA

The New World Saga charts the turbulent decades before the American Revolution, when a distant collection of British colonies began their slow and uncertain transformation into a new nation.

Through the eyes of its protagonists—soldiers, settlers, merchants and statesmen—the series explores the forces that reshaped the Atlantic world in the eighteenth century. War between great empires, the ambitions of powerful families, the expansion of the frontier, and the shifting loyalties of colonists all played their part.

At the centre of this story lies the global struggle between Britain and France, culminating in the Seven Years’ War. Victory would bring Britain a vast empire, but also the financial burdens, political tensions, and social upheavals that would ultimately lead to rebellion in America.

Rich in action, conflict and human drama, this remarkable period is often overlooked in the shadow of the Revolution that followed. Yet it was here—on distant frontiers, in colonial assemblies, and on battlefields across the Atlantic world—that the foundations of that revolution were laid.

Blending meticulous historical research with fast-paced storytelling, The New World Saga brings vividly to life the people, events and pressures that forged the road to American independence.
