About

A teenage refugee arrives in 1800s Montréal carrying a secret that could change history.

Fifteen-year-old Louis-Charles has escaped revolutionary France aboard the ill-fated packet ship Freedom. Rescued at sea by Basque fishermen and brought to the bustling port of Montréal, he finds himself alone in an unfamiliar new world. Calling himself simply Charles, he must learn how to survive while keeping his true identity hidden.

As Charles begins a new life far from everything he has known, he encounters friendship, hardship, danger, and the possibilities offered by a young city. But the secret of who he really is—and the extraordinary past he has left behind—can never be far from his mind.

Blending historical mystery with adventure and a compelling coming-of-age story, The King of Montréal brings the streets of early nineteenth-century Montréal vividly to life. It is an engaging tale of resilience, belonging, identity, and one young man's journey from the upheaval of the Old World toward an uncertain future in the New.
