What do a young soldier fighting in the French Revolution, a doomed tank mechanic trapped in the jungles of Vietnam, and a wealthy real estate tycoon from New Orleans have in common? And who is the strange girl who seems to appear like a mystical reincarnation or an angel in a recurring dream? The answer to these questions may be connected to an ancient medallion whose origins can be traced back to the empire of Charlemagne.
In a remote and forgotten slum in the Ninth Ward, south of the Mississippi River, a Santeria looks into the distant past and delves into the soul of a troubled, lonely stranger named Charles. She challenges him to seek the genesis of his true identity and embark upon a perilous adventure to uncover the truth.
An old winemaker living above a hill of vines in the French countryside may be the only answer. But time, circumstance, and the insatiable greed of dishonest men threaten to expose the secret of this bucolic paradise and the life of the man who is its personification. Together, he, Charles, and the woman Charles loves, battle against the forces of evil to fight for their rightful inheritance and the preservation of an immortal vineyard.
"Fleur-de-lys" ties this intriguing tale of destiny, romance, and tragedy to the true history of France and its relationship to Burgundy. It celebrates the good in all of us and our unyielding resolve to persevere.
