Tides of Acadia

Acadia, 1640s. On the fog‑bound coast where France and England contest a wilderness, Charles de La Tour defends a timber fort at the mouth of the Wolastoq/St. John River. At his side stand Françoise Jacquelin—newly arrived from France—and Wabanaki allies whose homelands shape every choice they make.Across the Bay of Fundy, rival governor Charles de Menou d’Aulnay raises ships and soldiers to bring Acadia under his rule. As winter hunger, shifting tides, and court intrigues close in, oaths are tested and love is forced into the line of fire. When d’Aulnay’s fleet appears off the palisades, Françoise must decide whether to yield or hold the ramparts and risk everything.Tides of Acadia brings the La Tour–d’Aulnay war to life—from Port‑Royal to the Saint John River—blending siege, seamanship, and a cross‑cultural bond that refuses to break.For readers who enjoyMaritime adventures on a raw frontierColonial New France and Acadian historyStrong female leads under siegeCross‑cultural alliances and moral courageRead more
