Description
The last decade of the 17th Century is marked by constant war between William, King of England, and Louis XIV, the French Sun King. Amidst this turmoil, Philip Devalle finds his loyalties constantly divided. Seeking a new path, he turns to the mountains and sunny slopes of Languedoc, where he becomes embroiled in the plight of the French Huguenots and the struggle for power between two monarchs. As tensions rise, Philip must draw on determination, ingenuity, and courage to safeguard his inheritance and the future of his family. With loyalty from friends and uncertain years ahead, Philip's latest venture poses significant challenges. The outcome is far from certain, as the complex web of politics and war threatens to upend everything he holds dear. In this gripping historical novel, Judith Thomson brings to life a pivotal moment in European history, where personal ambition and loyalty are tested against the backdrop of war and upheaval.
