{WATTYS 2020 WINNER} {FEATURED BOOK} Paris, 1663. 500 girls selected by King Louis XIV embark on a journey across the seas from their homeland. Each is given a dowry, and the expectation that they are to marry a French settler, in order to increase the population of New France. They are the historic Daughters of the King, or "les filles du roi." Eighteen-year-old Celeste Dubois is a free-spirited, educated and headstrong girl. She comes from a wealthy Parisian family that has squandered their money and is subsequently forced to journey to New France. However, Celeste doesn't plan on marrying a complete stranger. She hopes to use the dowry and the free voyage as a way to escape the poverty and social ranks of Paris. Matters are complicated when against her will, she falls in love. Romantic, kind and stunningly beautiful Lorraine Leblanc is a girl from a large family with children to spare. Unlike Celeste, she happily dreams of the day she will meet her future husband in New France. When she marries a mysterious widower with two young children of his own and still reeling after his broken heart, she realizes that married life isn't all she had hoped it would be, and begins to question her new husband's complicated past. - Wattpad Picks Blast to the Future Past list 2018 - The 50 Best Wattpad Stories of 2018/19 by Design Wizard - 2018 Youngblood Awards Winner (Romance) - 2018 True North Awards 2nd place for Historical Fiction and 2nd place Truly Canadian special category award - Featured by Wattpad Historical Fiction profile under Kings, Courtships and Empires, Young Adult Fiction profile under Love, Actually and Romance profile under Time will Tell *Please be aware that since this book covers the colonial period, it does contain sensitive themes of racism and violence that readers will find disturbing.

[Wattpad Featured Story] ❝𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐁𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐃 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐑𝐔𝐋𝐄𝐒 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊.❞ The last time the MACUSA Surveillance Wizarding Resource Department sent out an emergency message, it was back in 1926 when a warning was sent out claiming the Magical Exposure Threat Level had increased to Severe for unexplained activity. Since then there have been a few incidents here and there, but most of the surveillance has fallen upon the activity of No-Majs otherwise known as non-magical folk. For centuries, the wizarding realm has kept itself hidden and separate from No-Majs, allowing each side to handle their own affairs. But when a threat occurs brought on by an ill-tempered God, even the wizarding realm finds itself shaken by what could be coming. An elite group of No-Majs with abilities are rumoured to be coming together to put an end to the threat and MACUSA wants to make sure that the job will be done with as little casualties as possible. So, breaching the International Statute of Secrecy during the time of crisis, they send in one of their best to assist the cause. Enter Duffy Dagny, a highly recommended Hit Witch employed under MACUSA.
