About Merchants Of Virtue
Product Description France, 1685. Jeanne is the wife of a wealthy merchant, but now she risks losing everything. Louis XIV’s soldiers will stop at nothing to forcibly convert the country’s Huguenot "heretics" to the "true" faith. The men ransack Jeanne’s belongings and threaten to take her children. One by one, Jeanne watches her neighbors cave under the constant harassment. She and her husband resolve to hold fast to their Protestant principals of liberty of conscience, but Jeanne wonders if the punishment for their defiance is more than she can bear… If Jeanne can’t find a way to evade the soldiers’ clutches, her family will face a fate worse than poverty and imprisonment. They may never see each other again… Merchants of Virtue is the first book in the Huguenot Chronicles, a trilogy of historical fiction novels. If you like fast-paced adventure, rich layers of historical detail, and inspirational stories based on true events, then you’ll love Paul C.R. Monk’s stirring novel. Get it now!

From the Author These novels are based on a true story. I came across the original journal the books were inspired by while living at my wife's late grandmother's house in France. The journal was pretty short but I was immediately pulled in by its powerful drama that spanned the globe... The trilogy takes you from King Louis's France to the Caribbean, and from London to colonial New York, not to mention all the places in between. I hope you enjoy reading these books as much as I've enjoyed writing them. About the Author Paul C.R. Monk is an award-winning author and scriptwriter . His debut novel received rave reviews and won the Literary Classics Eloquent Quill Book Award.
