About this title

Synopsis

Passion, power, and a muttered vow in the heat of civil war.

In the hallways of Rushland House, the Puritan army gathers as a storm of duty, faith, and human frailty brews. This dramatic work places readers at the center of a tense moral crucible, where leaders weigh the cost of zeal, loyalty, and love against the demands of a cause larger than any one life.

Set during the English Civil War, the play follows a commander’s circle as they confront mutiny, private sins, and the price of victory. Amid prayers and political maneuvering, characters grapple with judgment, guilt, and the consequences of a harsh, uncompromising world. The drama blends military action with intimate, aching scenes of longing, duty, and the longing for a life that might have been.

• A tightly wound, character-driven plot that explores duty, desire, and the burden of leadership
