Southern Ashes (Vol. 2)

Ashes of the South is the second volume of a novel about the formation of the South American continent. Blending fact and fiction, José Antônio Severo recreates mythical battles, such as the Battle of Riachuelo, the largest freshwater naval battle in the Western Hemisphere, revisits significant episodes, such as Paraguay's capture of the Brazilian ship Marquês de Olinda, and gives voice to iconic figures such as the Duke of Caxias and General Osorio.
