In 1733, the edge of the world was a sandy cliff in Georgia known as Yamacraw Bluff.
For Moses Nunes, the voyage of the William and Sarah was more than a crossing of the Atlantic; it was a final escape from the long shadow of the Portuguese Inquisition. Behind him lay the stone cathedrals of Lisbon and the secret prayers of a family living in shadows. Before him lay a suffocating emerald wilderness where the air was thick with heat, disease, and the constant threat of Spanish steel.
While his father, the legendary Dr. Samuel Nunes, battles a deadly epidemic that threatens to extinguish the fledgling colony before the first hearth is even built, Moses finds his own purpose in the untamed Green Labyrinth.
Gifted with the Green Tongue, a rare ear for the music of indigenous languages, Moses becomes the vital bridge between General James Oglethorpe's European dreams and the ancient, sovereign reality of Chief Tomochichi's Yamacraw people. But as he helps carve Savannah's iconic squares out of the pines, he realizes that building a home requires more than just order-it requires a defiance of the status quo.
From the high-stakes diplomacy of the frontier to a forbidden and world-changing devotion to Mulatto Rose, The Sentinel of the Marsh is a sweeping historical epic. It is the story of a man who refused to be defined by the borders of his time, and a family legacy that would endure for centuries in the very soil of the South.
