CHAPITRE SIXIÈME - LA NUIT DU 31 DÉCEMBRE, 1775
In the years following the fall of Quebec, a quiet but simmering discontent spreads across the Canadian countryside. British soldiers impose martial law, foreign judges sit in empty courts, and the once‑familiar French legal code is swept away. The ordinary families who remain on the land cling to their farms, yet every edict from London feels like a fresh chain around their throats, especially as new taxes stir whispers of revolt in distant Boston.
Against this backdrop, a young woman whose heart belongs to a daring rebel watches the world tilt toward conflict. She navigates daily life amid cracked homesteads and uneasy soldiers, while the ideas of liberty and resistance begin to spark in her community. As the Stamp Act takes hold and tension rises, her loyalty, love, and courage are tested, offering a vivid glimpse of the personal struggles that precede the larger war for North America’s future.
