"t is 1758. The French Fortress of Louisbourg is on the brink of war. British Brigadier James Wolfe is a young man determined to prove himself worthy of the rank of major-general and plans to use the capture of the fortress to make good his claim. The English have blockaded Louisbourg's harbour for three years, and Governor Drucour knows that without the help of King Louis of France, the battle will be lost. Only his fortress, the imposing French bastion jutting towards the open Atlantic, stands sentinel against England's capture of the New World. Having infiltrated the confines of the fortress, 'The Red Feather', a notorious spy for the English, must choose between two loves - his country or Genevieve, the woman he has dreamed of for nearly a decade. But the Titian-haired beauty knows more than she has led him to believe. To save Louisbourg, she will do anything - even play the role of devoted wife to the man who destroyed her life a decade before."--Publisher.
