Official synopsis Publisher
The Spanish Empire’s conquest is marked by blood and gold. Alvar Núñez, soldier-turned-administrator, knows little else, and finds himself dissatisfied by the trappings of an ordinary life. When the opportunity comes to seek gold and glory in the New World, he jumps at the chance to revive his old passions.
It’s a shame, then, that his eight-year journey through the Gulf Region reduces him to a shell of his former self. To survive, he must adapt and find compassion for the people around him.
Iberian Claim, Vincent Casciani’s debut novel, details Alvar Núñez’ grueling and aimless journey across North America. His conviction is degraded, his worldview is challenged, and his desire for glory is tested at every turn.
