Alteza, The Metairie Saga, Book One

How passionate the Nineteenth Century When daring ideas sparked modern innovations; discontent sparked European revolutions; and need for inspired leadership spurred Thomas Carlyle to ponder the qualities of "Great Men." Yet the American frontier had its own visionaries . and the Metairie Saga is a tempestuous tale of their daring spirits, devoted hearts and forbidden desires. Inspired by Goethe's "Dream no small dreams," this exciting series often parallels historic European events, while literary details and classic illustrations inspire its pages. Surviving Chicago's Great Fire, Galen Metairie returns to Alteza, his family's cattle empire in the Territory of New Mexico. But can the love of his young bride surmount the bond her mysterious husband and his brother's wife still share? Or will a ruthless renegade prove a greater threat? Because if Moor is involved, the issue is never cattle or land or even wealth; but vulnerabilities . and one man's power over another man's heart.
