1687. Louis XIV revokes the Edict of Nantes, which granted French Protestants freedom of worship. A young nobleman, Amory de Catina, who had faithfully served the sovereign and carried out very delicate and complex missions, flees to the New World with his beautiful wife, Adele, at the suggestion of a friend from the English colonies. However, Canada is restless and dangerous. A bloody confrontation with the brave and fierce Iroquois Indians is followed by a full-scale war with the English. There is no end to the victims, and Amory and Adele are swept away by the ninth wave of countless dangers... A magnificent example of an adventure novel — with palace intrigues, deadly dangers, a friendship that has gone through fire and water, and a true, heartfelt love — from the creator of the immortal Sherlock Holmes.
