The book follows the first three in the Triumph to Tragedy Series, outlining the history of Haiti from 1771 to December 31, 1803, after the successful revolution to vanquish Napoleon’s French army, which was attempting to re-enslave the colony’s citizens.
The book begins on New Year’s Day of 1804 in a new country named Ayiti, in honor of the original Taino tribes that had given its name with the meaning, Land of Mountains.
After 13 years of constant turmoil, the island had finally won its freedom.

Dessalines was joined by two other notable generals, also considered as founding fathers; Henry Christophe and Alexandre Pétion.
