Paris, 1663. King Louis XIV sanctions a program to send destitute women to Quebec to settle his new colony. They are known as, “Daughters of the King,” and Jeanne Denot is one of them. Of noble birth, she assumes a false identity and boards the ship, narrowly escaping death at the hands of those closest to her. But when Jeanne encounters a mysterious and compelling stranger onboard, the course of her life is altered forever.
As she braves the uncertainty of unsettled seas and forges ahead in the wilds of the New World, Jeanne plots a way of reclaiming what is rightfully hers. A Daughter of the King, published by US publisher, Wild Rose Press, will be available in the fall of 2021.
