Merchants of Virtue by Paul C R Monk
Would you denounce your faith to defend your home and family? France, 1685. Jeanne is the wife of a once-wealthy merchant, but now she risks losing everything. Louis XIV's soldiers will stop at nothing to forcibly convert the country's Huguenots to Catholicism. The men ransack Jeanne's belongings and threaten her children. One by one, Jeanne watches her Protestant neighbors cave under the constant harassment. She and her husband resolve to keep their faith, 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 Connection, 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.

Monk, Paul C. R.: - Paul C. R. Monk grew up in the south east of England then spent many years living in France with a 3-year stint in Spain and, more recently, he has been spending time in China. He trained as a linguist and worked for 9 years as a teacher before becoming a script writer on scores of projects, one of which won him a Writers Guild of America Awards nomination for outstanding writing. He is currently working on a historical fiction series, which follows the true story of a merchant family during the world-shaking drama of Louis XIV's revocation of religious tolerance. The Huguenot Connection trilogy, which includes Merchants of Virtue, Voyage of Malice and Land of Hope, takes the reader from King Louis's France to the Caribbean, and from London to colonial New York, with drama-filled stops in the Rhine Valley and war-torn Ireland... His novel set in contemporary China is titled That Spring In Beijing.
