What begins as an assignment becomes an encounter filled with intrigue and suspense.

He must decide between love and duty where the wrong choice could mean his life.

The king's sheltered cousin Louise discovers two things while at court:

She is out of her element.

And her provided escort stirs foreign emotions in her heart.

Is Louise a Huguenot spy?

Can Antoine be trusted?

Will her secret get her into trouble?

And if the king's commands go against God's, what will Antoine choose?
