SYNOPSIS
It is 1758, and 18-year-old Sébastien de l’Espérance, a soldier in the Compagnies Franches de la Marine, serves King Louis XV in the fortified town of Louisbourg, located in present-day Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Encouraged by his best friend, Guillaume Rousseau, Sébastien finally summons the courage to propose to his beloved Marie-Claire Desbarats on June 1, mere moments before word arrives that British warships have been sighted offshore and are preparing to launch a massive attack. The bloody weeks-long battle that follows will test not only Sébastien’s and Guillaume’s strength and courage but also their loyalty to a cause that is ultimately doomed to fail.
