Exiled for the Faith: A Tale of the Huguenot Persecution
France, 16th century. The Wars of Religion have made faith a death sentence. When Scottish young man Nigel Melvin arrives at the Louvre seeking his fortune and a chance to serve under Admiral Coligny, he finds something far more dangerous than he imagined: a kingdom where Protestant beliefs can cost you your life, and where even the gardens of the palace bloom with the perfume of danger. Through his cousin Mary Seton and the lovely Constance de Tourville, Nigel is drawn into the precarious world of French Huguenots, men and women who risk everything for the right to worship as their conscience demands. The St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre looms on the horizon, and every prayer whispered in secret could be the last. Kingston paints a vivid portrait of courage under persecution and the terrible price of religious conviction. For readers who hunger for historical fiction that takes faith seriously, this is a story of ordinary people who chose martyrdom over betrayal.
