About this title

Synopsis

Amidst the opulence of Louis XIV's France, a story of defiance and faith unfolds.

In a time where faith and freedom clash, Jeanne Delpech de Castanet and her husband Jacob, stand as pillars of courage amidst the turmoil of Louis XIV's reign of intolerance.

Their life of privilege is under siege as the king's soldiers ruthlessly target the Huguenot "heretics." With their home ransacked and their children's safety hanging by a thread, the couple's resolve is pushed to its limits. Will their unwavering belief in their principles and liberty of conscience be enough to shield their family from the harrowing consequences of their defiance?

Witness the struggle for faith, the fight for freedom, and the undying spirit of a couple who refuse to surrender their convictions.

Merchants of Virtue is more than a novel—it's a journey through the rich tapestry of history, inspired by true events. It's the first gripping installment in the Huguenot Chronicles that promises adventure, historical depth, and an inspirational tale of resilience.

Embrace the adventure, feel the courage, and discover the power of conviction. Get your copy of Merchants of Virtue today!
