Description

Set against the turbulent backdrop of the late‑sixteenth‑century French Wars of Religion, the story follows a young Huguenot named Philip and his close‑knit circle of friends and family as they seek refuge in England’s bustling port city of Canterbury. Among the thriving French protestant enclave, they grapple with the loss of their homeland, the urgency of survival, and the growing pressure to choose a side in a conflict that threatens to engulf all of Europe.

When a daring proposal from Gaspard Vaillant pulls Philip back toward the continent, he finds himself drawn into secret plans, clandestine meetings, and the looming specter of battle. The narrative weaves together personal loyalty, the harsh realities of exile, and the fierce political intrigue that fuels the Huguenot struggle, offering listeners a vivid glimpse into a world where faith and ambition collide.
