Exiled for the Faith: A Tale of the Huguenot Persecution

In the sun‑dappled gardens of the Louvre, a young Scottish exile named Nigel walks beside his cousin Mary, a poised courtier with a keen eye for danger.

Mary warns him of the growing power of the Guise faction and the lethal risks of openly supporting Protestant ideas.

The novel captures the tension of a nation on the brink of religious war, where personal ambition collides with faith. As Nigel grapples with his convictions and the threat of persecution, listeners are drawn into the fraught world of 16th‑century France, where loyalty, belief, and survival are constantly tested. The stage is set for a gripping tale of exile, courage, and the price of standing for one’s beliefs.
