1804 began a new era for the new country of Ayiti. After 13 years of constant turmoil, the island had finally won its freedom. Jean-Jacques Dessalines had taken up the mantle as the Commander of the Revolutionary Army after the death of his mentor, Toussaint Louverture. He masterfully assembled a mighty army of 40,000 men and women to defeat Napoleon's French army and declared Ayiti a free nation. Dessalines was joined by two other notable generals, also considered as founding fathers; Henry Christophe and Alexandre Petion.

The Bayard family deftly navigated their personal lives, business endeavors, and the ever-shifting political landscape as the years passed. In a world where death and destruction loomed at every turn, they survived and thrived, determined to carve out their success despite all odds. Their days were filled with calculated risks and strategic moves, each one bringing them closer to their ultimate goal of prosperity in a time of chaos.

Book Four opens on New Year's Day of 1804, in three different cities - Cap Francais, Gonaives, and Port Republicain - where our main characters and principal protagonists begin to navigate their way through the aftermath of liberation, not knowing that their paths would soon cross at dangerous intersections. As they strive to establish stability and peace in their homeland, they will soon realize that this may be even more challenging than fighting for their freedom.
