M. Cetas is the role of religion in society. The dynamics of power and control also become apparent, and one can't help but question to what extent governments should get involved in religion and the role of religious leaders in interpreting the scriptures. This thought-provoking work also aroused my curiosity about history and Calvinism. I cannot wait to read more about the Huguenots. The characters were well-developed, and the author subtly ensured that the narrative was effective in passing on the intended message without alienating anyone.

The details of the scenery, the diverse types of people, and all aspects of their cultures (Dutch, French, Native American, English) are done so impeccably. While some of the book is fiction, the historical parts are well documented, and sources are named for the reader to learn more on the subject if they wish. My excitement increased with each page I read because the amount of action and raw emotions drew me into the story. This book could easily be made into a movie. I enjoyed this book so very much.
