Quebec and the other settlements of New France are in constant danger… Angelique and Joffrey face the difficult task of winning public opinion over to their side. And they succeed. Joffrey has a longtime supporter — the head of the Jesuits, Father de Maubeuge, who expels Sebastian d'Orgeval, the enemy of our heroes, from the city. Somewhat flaunting his unusual nature, Count de Peyrac finds support from the Governor of Canada, Frontenac, and many other townspeople. Angelique proves to the Jesuits that the Demon of Acadia is not her.
