THE VAN GELDERS. IN FOUR GENERATIONS THEY ROSE FROM SERVANTS TO MASTERS OF NEW YORK
1663. A time for greatness in a lush land of opportunity they called New Amsterdam. Here, one plot of land became the place where burghers like Cornelis Berwyck found wealth, and where servants like Willem van Gelder dared dream of the dynasty that would claim a new country as its own...

URSULA--Willem's brilliant wife, who founded a shipbuilding dynasty that launched the van Gelder dream

HARMAN--their fiery son, who battled to bury a star-crossed love but could not escape the sins of the past

ELIZABETH--Harman's defiant granddaughter, who entertained the enemy in Tory drawing rooms while risking her life as a rebel spy

NED--Harman's dashing great-grandson, who would break the sordid bonds of the past to build anew in the land he fought to free

From early Dutch to arrogant British rule, through slave rebellion and war's inferno, their passionate struggle for greatness was as legendary as the city they lived in.
