1667 Quebec. Committed to a double life to save her fellow Protestants, Isabelle turns spy against her deceitful Catholic husband. When he devises a ruthless plan to imprison and torture her people, Isabelle learns to fight from a brave young Huron woman. Isabelle seizes the opportunity to undermine her husband's efforts by escorting him to France. There, she plays the doting wife while she secretly works to subvert the Catholic Church and plot his demise. But Paris is full of poisons, street gangs, and cruel nobility who threaten to destroy all Isabelle has worked to protect. With her found family on the line, Isabelle must challenge the most powerful man in France-King Louis XIV. Defying the Crown may seem impossible, but Paris has yet to meet a warrior like her. In the follow up to the award-winning Daughter of the King, Kerry Chaput takes readers on a historical adventure where fierce, cunning women fight for freedom. Daughter of the Shadows immerses you in the dark world of Paris, where court intrigue and poisonous secrets are no match for the whip-smart heroine who keeps you guessing at every turn.

Isabelle walks a fine line between appearing to be the perfect wife to her Catholic husband, and working underground for the Protestant cause. Set in 1667 Quebec, Isabelle was born and raised in France, where she was persecuted for her religious beliefs. Forced to convert, she was sent to Quebec to choose a husband. Chaffing under her restrictive life, Isabelle will do almost anything for the cause.

I did not realize this was a sequel when I picked up the book. Although the book was able to stand alone, I did feel like I was missing a lot of character development and back-story. I enjoyed reading about a period of history that i know little about, and will definitely pick up the first book. Overall, highly recommended. (

This book was not what I expected, but it was good. The cover illustration does not match the story. Interesting historical account. The relationships were not realistic for me. Still a good storyteller. (

I’m always fascinated by history & this historical fiction was different. I read the first book before I read this one. Both are a bit too dark for me. There is a lot of (under stable) rage, but it grew tiresome. I enjoyed the time the heroine spent with the Indian who taught her to fight.

Overall it was okay. I didn’t care for the violence & intense anger throughout. I guess it just wasn’t my cup of tea. (
