Dublin Core
Abstract
King Louis XIV (reign: 1643-1715) is ruling France, and King Charles II (reign: 1660-1685) is ruling England, but in the Carolina Colony, Frenchman, Colonel Huguenin, and Englishman, Captain Jack Middleton, are busy fight Indians and trying to grow crops. When Middleton's true love, Antionette Huguenin, is captured en route to the New World, he travels to St. Augustine to rescue her from the Spanish. With help from friendly warriors, such as Lumulgee, he makes his way to the city only to learn that the Spanish governor's nephew plans to marry his dear Antoinette! With Lumulgee's help, Middleton rescues Antoinette, only is injured to the point of death in the streets of St. Augustine while trying to spirit her to safety. Will he be able to escape his prison, rescue Antoinette a second time, and claim her hand for himself before she returns to France?
