Marie Roussin is an orphan from France, living in French Colonial Louisiana with her husband and two young sons. She is happy and content, until a French officer's arrival shakes up the stable ground she has finally built a life on. From the moment of Benjamin Dumont de Montigny's arrival, Marie is captivated by him in a way that is more unsettling than exciting, and yet a strange mixture of both. Tyrannical commanders, native uprisings and unimaginable loss will either bring them together or separate them - forever.
