A young woman and her lover are marooned on an island in this breath­tak­ing saga from the best­selling author of Sam 

An epic sto­ry of love, faith, and defi­ance 

Heir to a for­tune, Mar­guerite is des­tined for a life of pros­per­i­ty and gen­til­i­ty. Then she is orphaned, and her guardian — an enig­mat­ic and volatile man — spends her inher­i­tance and insists she accom­pa­ny him on an expe­di­tion to New France. Iso­lat­ed and afraid, Mar­guerite befriends her guardian’s ser­vant, and the two devel­op an intense attrac­tion. But when their rela­tion­ship is dis­cov­ered, they are bru­tal­ly pun­ished and aban­doned on a small island with no hope for res­cue.

Once a child of priv­i­lege who dressed in gowns and laced pearls in her hair, Mar­guerite finds her­self at the mer­cy of nature. As the weath­er turns, blan­ket­ing the island in ice, she dis­cov­ers a faith she’d nev­er before need­ed.

Inspired by the real life of a six­teenth-cen­tu­ry hero­ine, Iso­la is the time­less sto­ry of a woman fight­ing for survival.
