September 20, 1663, gulls circle and dive overhead as the sails unfurl propelling the ship carrying twelve-year-old Etienne Gayneau and ten-year-old Abraham Dayton toward Boston and new business opportunities that promise them everything they want. Unknown to them, these ventures also carry the power to destroy. Each boy must choose - take the easy road of promise that leads to destruction, or follow the harder path to self-discovery. Both choices will cost them everything.

A smooth and enjoyable listen that weaves the lives of three different—and yet not so different—characters.

The story flowed smoothly, from one character to the next, often transitioning at just the right moment, leaving you wanting to know what happened to the character you were with. For his part, the narrator gave life to many characters of several nationalities both male and female, not an easy task.
I look forward to more!

Based on a true story. In October 1660, Etienne Gayneau rushes through the cobblestone streets of La Rochelle, France, to meet his cousin at the harbor. A ship carrying King Louis XIV's elite musketeers is docking. He dreams of becoming one himself, but has no idea that their arrival will force his Huguenot family to flee in the dead of night. His cousin has offered him a safe haven. Now he must choose - stay and pursue his dream or leave and face an uncertain destiny. Both choices are fraught with dangers. Either way his life will never be the same.

A Pleasant and Engaging Story
Revisado: 11-07-23
The story was engaging and seemed to just fly by. I have read the book and the narration provided by Daniel Kay gives it a fresh take. It is easy to intellectually know that the young hero is French, but to hear Kay’s portrayal of the accent and the pronunciations as the characters must have had them really brought that home.
Overall very enjoyable.
