Daughter of the King
Book Feature - Daughter of the King by Kerry Chaput
HBL Note: Daughter of the King is the first book in Kerry Chaput’s Defying the Crown series. It is based on a true story of French orphans who settled in Canada. I had the opportunity to meet Kerry (virtually) as part of the Women's Fiction Writers Association, and I was so honored when her publicist reached out to be to feature her debut novel on this blog. In addition to writing, Kerry is passionate about history, coffee, and women-centered tales. So I have a feeling if we are ever able to meet in person we’d be fast friends.
Daughter of the King follows Isabelle as she tries to escape persecution by the Catholic King. It's both an enemies to lovers romance and a historical retelling of the brutality of the 1600s. For fans of Bridgerton as well as National Geographic's show Barkskin. Scroll down to read more about DAUGHTER OF THE KING.

From the publisher:
La Rochelle France, 1661. Fierce Protestant Isabelle is desperate to escape persecution by the Catholic King. Isabelle is tortured and harassed, her people forced to convert to the religion that rules the land. She risks her life by helping her fellow Protestants, which is forbidden by the powers of France. She accepts her fate — until she meets a handsome Catholic soldier who makes her question everything.
She fights off an attack by a nobleman, and the only way to save herself is to flee to the colony of Canada as a Daughter of the King. She can have money, protection and a new life — if she adopts the religion she’s spent a lifetime fighting. She must leave her homeland and the promises of her past. In the wild land of Canada, Isabelle finds that her search for love and faith has just begun.
Based on the incredible true story of the French orphans who settled Canada, Daughter of the King is a sweeping tale of one young woman’s fight for true freedom. Kerry Chaput brings the past to life, expertly weaving a gripping saga with vivid historical details. Jump back in time on a thrilling adventure with an unforgettable heroine.
