Summary "The Lily and the Cross: A Tale of Acadia" by James De Mille is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in the tumultuous backdrop of Acadia, exploring themes of adventure, identity, and intrigue through the journeys of its characters. The main character, Zac, a Bostonian schooner captain, finds himself navigating complex relationships with his passengers—Claude Motier, a spirited young man with a mysterious background, and Abbé Michel, a solemn priest—while they encounter tension around them, especially concerning their interactions with French forces. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to the dwindling crew aboard the schooner "Parson" as they find themselves enveloped in fog and uncertainty while en route to Louisbourg. The dynamic among Zac, Claude, and the Abbé hints at underlying tensions reflective of cultural and nationalistic divides. As whispers of danger arise from a potential French warship lurking nearby, the group grapples with both external threats and their evolving personal connections. The opening sets the stage for a gripping tale of survival and exploration of loyalties as they confront their perilous fate at sea. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
