Marguerite was born to wealth and refinement, her future mapped out in pearls and privilege. That life ends when she is orphaned, her fortune squandered by a volatile guardian, and dragged across the sea to New France.
Accused of betrayal, she is abandoned on a desolate island with only her wits and her will to survive. Stripped of silks and safety, Marguerite learns to face hunger, ice, and loneliness with a strength she never knew she possessed.
What begins as punishment becomes a test of endurance, faith, and defiance. Inspired by the true story of a sixteenth-century heroine, Isola is both a survival thriller and an intimate portrait of transformation.
Can Marguerite outlast the island, or will it claim her as its final secret?
