Baron Poutrincourt returns to Acadia to find the great Mi'kmaq Chief Membertou, true to his word, preserved Port Royal for the French. Now he and his son Biencourt, without Champlain, de Mons, or Pont-Grave seek to rebuild Acadia all on their own. However, funded by a headstrong Noblewoman, the Jesuits mean to take Acadia for themselves and a rival settlement on Mount Desert Island (in present day Maine) splits Acadia in two. Both factions are in for a surprise from Virginia, and here a now the epic colonial wars between England and France begins.
