Young HÃ©lÃ¨ne St. Onge and her older sister Catherine are orphans. When King Louis XVI orders all men in New France to marry, Catherine becomes a fille du roi, one of the many young women sent to the new world as brides. HÃ©lÃ¨ne will accompany her on the long sea voyage and live with her sisterâ€™s new family. But Catherine dies during the gruelling journey, and HÃ©lÃ¨ne finds herself alone in strange new country. New France is a far harsher place than she imagined, with bitter winters and the threat of attack from the Iroquois. Will the new friendships she has made on her long voyage enable her to survive?
