A girl is chosen by the King of France to sail across the Atlantic and start a new life in the wild colony of New France. Armed with a dowry, a name, and a head full of dreams, Edith Marie Francés records her journey in a journal-a quiet companion through love, tragedy, and ambition. But what begins as a tale of romance and reinvention quickly twists into something far darker. Shipwrecked by grief. Haunted by secrets. Surrounded by lies. And when her words are no longer her own, the truth becomes something even she can't escape. A story told in ink, blood, and ash-through shifting hands and shattered trust. Some entries bring love. Some bring death. And some should never have been written at all. One woman's journal. Three narrators. Too many buried truths. And a warning whispered in smoke: He's still alive.
