My Bookshelf: The Mark of the King by Jocelyn Green
Life in this new world requires
more strength than she ever imagined.
After the death of her
client, midwife Julianne Chevalier is imprisoned and branded, marking her as a
criminal beyond redemption. Hoping to reunite with her brother, a soldier, she
trades her life sentence for exile to the fledgling French colony of Louisiana.
The price of her transport, however, is a forced marriage to a fellow convict.
New Orleans is nothing
like Julianne expects. The settlement is steeped in mud and mosquitoes, and
there is no news of her brother Benjamin. When tragedy strikes, she turns to
military officer Marc-Paul Girard for help, but does he know more about her
brother than he will admit?
With her dreams
shattered, Julianne must find her way in this dangerous land, where only
grace—and love—can overcome the stigma of the king’s mark upon her shoulder.
