Set during the persecution of the Huguenots in 17th century France,
a young Huguenot stonemason by the name of Isaac DuBose, is hired
to build a chapel on the elegant estate of the wealthy Marquis
Albert DuPont, also a Huguenot. Isaac falls in love with the
marquis only daughter, Suzanne, who returns his love. Their
relationship, though stormy at times, builds amid the trials of
life and cruel waves of religious persecution. As persecutions
increase, attending Protestant churches is prohibited and even
building a Huguenot chapel becomes a criminal offense. Suzanne s
father, the marquis, who is besieged by King Louis XIV and Romanist
zealots, narrowly escapes arrest. With the DuPont Chateau
infiltrated by spies and the family doggedly pursued by the King s
dreaded dragoons, Isaac and Suzanne hurriedly marry and escape by
ship with her father and other Huguenots to Charleston, South
Carolina where new adventures await them all.
