Publisher's Synopsis
When a big clap of thunder brought a 30-mile circle of modern South Dakota to 1792, history changed. A new nation, rooted in Indigenous values, a belief in freedom for all, and a fierce commitment to protect the earth, emerged.
In Expeditions, the sweeping sequel to Circle for the Earth, Rose Chasing Hawk must navigate a web of trade, diplomacy, and betrayal as her people expand into a rising power. Her daughters' prophetic visions give warnings, but will they come in time? Oliver Jackson, once a cop, now commands a defense force, torn between his beliefs in peace and the need to protect the new nation with the potential to change the world.
Others embark on expeditions exploring the late eighteenth century world. Unforgettable characters work to dismantle slavery, build medical clinics and schools, and firmly establish their new nation of a coalition of sovereign tribes from the new borders of the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean.
With powerful themes and meticulous detail, Expeditions reimagines the past to ask urgent questions about justice, resilience, and the legacy we leave behind. It asks the question, what could have been-if we had another chance.
An Indigenous time travel alternative history saga with the heart of a family drama and the mind of a political thriller.
For fans of 1632, The Years of Rice and Salt, Octavia Butler, and S.M. Stirling.
