About This Book

A dramatized historical narrative recounts the daring defense led by Adam Dollard and his companions in colonial New France, blending documented events with fictionalized romance. It follows arrival of settlers and a noblewoman from France, interactions among seigneurs, hospital nuns, and servants, and relationships that complicate duty and love. Encounters with Indigenous warriors, including a notable Huron figure, and episodes at rivers, seignories, and a hospital chapel build toward a climactic expedition often called the Long Saut; the tale ends by reflecting on heroism and legacy. Scenes alternate intimate domestic life, religious devotion, and frontier combat, highlighting courage, sacrifice, and cultural collision.
