Echoes In The Wind

When Chaplain Rob Llewellyn arrives at the Australian Army’s basic training centre, few know what to make of him. He’s quiet, intensely private, and watches more than he speaks. His predecessor left in disgrace, and no one expects this new padre to last long.
But Rob Llewellyn is not what he seems.
What no one knows is that he was once a Royal Marine sniper—an elite marksman forged in combat, fluent in violence, and shaped by losses he never speaks of. He’s put the rifle down, traded camouflage for the cross, and come to serve in a new way. But that doesn’t mean he’s forgotten how to survive.
As Rob navigates suspicion from recruits and officers alike he begins to confront not only their pain, but his own. Haunted by the past, and compelled to protect those in his care, Rob is forced to ask himself: can a man trained to kill ever truly become a man of peace?
Echoes in the Wind is a gripping exploration of trauma, identity, and redemption—a story of a soldier-turned-shepherd trying to help others heal, even as he struggles to forgive himself.
