About this audiobook
In the shadow of the St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre, a young noblewoman must protect her family and her faith amidst the violent religious wars of 16th-century France. The "chaplet of pearls" serves as a symbol of the enduring connections that survive even the most brutal political upheavals. This sweeping epic is a masterpiece of historical romance, blending high-stakes adventure with deep spiritual conviction.
