En juin 1755, après l’assaut des Britanniques contre le fort Beauséjour, situé à la frontière de l’Acadie, Tonin Grandmont, dit…
le Comtois, un soldat de 26 ans d’origine comtoise, gît sur le champ de bataille. Delphine Brassaud, une jeune Acadienne d’un village voisin, veille à son chevet. Une complicité immédiate les unit, mais la guerre les emporte dans des directions opposées. Soigné à Louisbourg, Tonin est séparé de Delphine contre son gré. Dès lors, il n’a qu’un seul but : retrouver celle qu’il aime, malgré les périls d’un monde en proie au chaos.De son côté, Delphine, avec sa famille, s’engage dans une fuite douloureuse vers la vallée du Saint-Laurent. Leur chemin croise celui des Acadiens exilés, témoins d’une déportation tragique et de la chute de Louisbourg. Au fil des pages, le récit nous transporte de la Comté aux paysages majestueux du Saint-Laurent, mêlant amour, guerre et espoir.À travers l’histoire d’un couple pris dans les méandres d’un destin cruel, ce roman donne vie aux souffrances des populations déplacées de force : femmes, enfants, soldats et humbles gens. Une fiction poignante ancrée dans les tourments d’une Histoire bien réelle, où l’espoir et l’amour se fraient un chemin au milieu des ténèbres.
