The Perils of Exiles Matt Egner

A war, an exile, a new life, and repeat. Poor and alone, Arlen Donovan left the port of Bristol on a journey that would take him across the ocean to a new world. He made a new life for himself in a small French town and soon became a father. Life was good. Arlen Wed a Mi'kmaq woman and had a son. Finn Donovan enjoyed his childhood in Nova Scotia. On his seventeenth birthday though, life became a swirl of confusion and chaos in a battle dictated by King George and executed by English soldiers. The war destroyed towns and ripped families apart, exiling good people by way of ships bound for southern colonies. A twist of fate presented Finn with a new lease on life. A tropical island, love, and friendship became his new world. But soldiers have a way of extracting revenge.
