Huguenot: A Tale of the French Protestants

In the glittering court of Louis XIV, a Protestant nobleman must choose: his faith or his king. France, 1680. Albert, Count of Morseiul, owns land, commands respect, and counts the Sun King himself among his friends. But beneath the silk and spectacle lies a kingdom turning against its own. The Edict of Nantes is dying. Protestant churches are closing. Neighbors disappear in the night. And Albert's religion, quiet, lawful, deeply held, has become a crime. James weaves a tale of quiet heroism and impossible choices. What does loyalty mean when your king orders your destruction? What remains of faith when prayer invites punishment? This is not a story of battles or revolutions, but of the daily courage required to remain oneself in a world demanding conformity. For readers who love historical fiction that explores the human cost of religious persecution.
