Synopsis

This book is a historical novel set in the 16th century, during the reign of Queen Mary I of England, known as Bloody Mary. The story centres around Owen Wilford, a Protestant pastor, and his family. When Cardinal Pole, the Pope's legate, arrives in England, he brings with him a wave of religious persecution. Wilford is targeted for his beliefs and is arrested and imprisoned, along with his wife. Their daughter, Rose, is left alone to face the wrath of the authorities. The book offers a vivid portrayal of the religious and political turmoil of the time, when Catholics and Protestants were at odds, and the stakes were high for those who dared to dissent. The author explores the themes of faith, family, and resilience in the face of adversity. Wilford's unwavering belief in his faith, despite the threat of persecution, serves as a testament to the power of conviction. The book's insights into the human spirit and the complexities of religious conflict remain relevant today, making it a valuable read for anyone interested in history, religion, or the human condition.
