Description

Amid the simmering tensions of the Seven Years’ War, a fragile peace in Europe conceals a fierce clash across the Atlantic. In the battered frontier of New France, two orphaned children find themselves caught between rival imperial ambitions and the daily hardships of colonial life. Their quiet determination draws them into a web of secret messages, daring rescues, and the ever‑present danger of soldiers marching through forests and settlements.

As the conflict intensifies, the orphans must rely on each other and the few trusted allies they meet—a kind‑hearted innkeeper, a restless kitchen fire‑brand, and a mysterious figure clutching a royal warrant. Their search for missing persons becomes a perilous quest that reveals both the brutality of war and the stubborn hope that can bloom even in the harshest wilderness. Listeners will be swept into a richly painted world where loyalty, faith, and the longing for belonging shape every step toward an uncertain future.
