From 1683 to 1803 ~
From the corrupt courts of Versailles to the windswept
tracks of Montreal ~
From the sea-washed coasts of Nova Scotia to the searing
deserts of Algiers ~
And from the lush marshes of Louisiana ~
The proud, aristocratic du Plessis lived, loved, and
fought to reclaim what was theirs.
There was Damien, who claimed the unattainable Hèléne as his
wife and took a nun as his mistress. There was Natalie, who
escaped the horrors of Paris’s La Salpétrière prison to flee
to the colony of New Orleans as a proxy bride selected by
the handsome, mysterious half breed . . . There was Nicolas,
whose dark secret shadowed the only love he had ever known ~
for his half-brother’s wife . . . There was Reinette,
Natalie’s daughter, raised wild in the bayous outside New
Orleans, who gave her heart to an outcast and her body to
her handsome captor . . . and there was Daniel, Reinette’s
son, who thirsted for vengeance and took his enemy’s
daughter as hostage.
