Canterbury sheltered a growing Huguenot community, including your mother Lucie and her brother Gaspard, exiles from Poitou. England gave us work and worship after persecution drove us from land, kin, and the lives we expected to keep. You step into this one-chapter preview with Lucie Fletcher at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. Gaspard drew his chair nearer, and the plan for your next years waited beyond the chapter. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
