L'Orme

L'Orme

by George Payne Rainsford James

Set in 17th century France, 'L'Orme' follows the adventures of young Louis, heir to the Count of Bigorre, after an encounter with the vindictive Marquis de Saint Brie forces him into exile. The tale wends its way inexorably towards the Battle of Marfee in the 30 years War and the death of the Count of Soissons in a failed coup against the much hated minister, Cardinal de Richelieu. Despite facing challenges such as a brush with the law, card sharks, and a deadly avalanche, Louis's resilience shines through as he navigates the complexities of love, loyalty, and his own destiny.
