About this book
Arthur Conan Doyle sets this two-part historical romance at the court of Louis XIV, where Amory de Catinat, a Huguenot officer in the king's guard, must protect both his faith and the woman he loves as the crown turns against French Protestants. When the Edict of Nantes is revoked and persecution begins, Amory and his American cousin Amos Green flee across the sea to the wilds of New France, trading palace intrigue for frontier hardship among trappers and native tribes. Doyle, better remembered for Sherlock Holmes, took real pride in his historical fiction, and the book moves briskly from Versailles ceremony to Canadian danger.
