California picks up the Golden State's origin tale where Calafia left off. This fictional historical saga continues the story of the clash of cultures that pitted the earliest Spanish settlers against the indigenous people they came to displace. That intersection of peoples could be beautiful from time to time, but more often than not it was bloody.

When the first Spanish settlers came to Alta California, they brought their ambitions and their preconceptions, their crosses and their guns. The priests came to convert the indigenous people to Catholicism. The soldiers came to take their lands. Then they brought their families, and the world that the Native Americans had known for so many centuries was forever changed.

California is the second book of a series that tells the story of the beginning of Europe's presence in America's most populous state, a place whose natural beauty will always be marred by its violent history.
