A sweeping saga spanning decades. The hunt for a treasure worth millions. Part mystery, part history, this is a tale worthy of the classics writers, a legacy of Hugo, Dickens, and Tolstoy. Spanning the decades between 1776 and 1832, it mainly follows Xavier Traversier and Jacob 'Jake' Loring. This tale is a rich medley of philosophic ideas, especially Rousseau. It is a wide-ranging tale, exploring notable events and practices of the time.
