About this audiobook
Against the violent backdrop of 16th-century religious conflict, a young woman fights to reclaim her heritage and protect those she loves from the fires of persecution. The "chaplet of pearls" remains a steadfast symbol of faith and family identity through years of separation and danger. This sweeping historical epic is a masterpiece of tension and romance, set during one of France's most turbulent eras. It is a powerful story of survival, devotion, and the enduring strength of the human heart.
