A student in Paris, Gabriel Dublanche watched in horror while members of the forbidden Hugenot church were tortured and killed by the authorities. Profoundly affected, he fled home to Normandy, where disease and death threatened to destroy the region. But the pestilence paled beside the baser passion that battled for Gabriel's own soul; revenge against the man who murdered his best friend.

Idk how a book that has so much death and tragedy can be so good but wow this is some great historical fiction. This story will make you really think about what people went through in days without cellphones or social media for you to contact a loved one. If you moved across the country you more than likely never heard from them again. This story follows Gabriel's life in Normandy, where he then goes to Paris for school but sees such atrocities that he decides to move back. Events play out and he's forced to flee to New France(Canada) where he goes through many trials and tribulations that will make you see the value of love and forgiveness.
