From Mexico City, a thousand miles away, the bishop has selected the friar, drafting him into service on an expedition to explore the unknown regions far north of the subtropical region where he has served his mission so well. He is to join the expedition where he will explore new territories and encounter the people of Tierra Nueva.Through unexpected events and turns of fortune, the friar becomes the leader of a massive expedition commissioned by the viceroy of New Spain.
