About this book

A young Scot seeking naval service arrives at a royal court where choosing a patron also means taking sides in a religious dispute. Nigel hopes for help from Admiral Coligny, an old comrade of his father, while his cousin Mary Seton warns him that Protestant sympathies can put his prospects and safety at risk. Their conversation in the Louvre gardens introduces a world of family connections, royal influence and guarded speech.

Kingston's historical novel for younger readers carries Huguenot concerns from the court into the life of a colony. Settlers who expected a Protestant refuge face disagreement over worship and the governor's authority. Building houses and cultivating land go alongside arguments about conscience and belonging.
