Far away from their old homeland, countless Germans seek their fortune in the land of opportunity. Political unrest in the monarchy drives them away—into a world where vast fields and freely accessible land await settlers. But behind the tempting promise of freedom lies a high price.

Texas, 1834
Two German families take the leap into the unknown: A new life, far away from oppression – that's the lure of Texas. But instead of the new beginning they long for, they are met with illness, shipwreck, and bitter losses.
Karoline Romberg is torn from her noble family's estate and the hardships of the overseas journey into the maelstrom of the Texas struggle for liberation against the ruthless General Santa Anna.
Underage Sophie Dankert, on the other hand, finds herself in harsh servitude – trapped in a life of deprivation and the ever-present threat of death.

Based on authentic diaries, Natalie Bright and Manuela Schneider tell the dramatic, stirring story of two families who risk everything and lose so much.

An epic beginning full of courage, hope, and an unshakeable belief in freedom – under the wide skies of Texas.
Immerse yourself now in the history of German emigrants who have played a decisive role in shaping the state of Texas to this day in volume one of the historical novel series A new Fatherland.
