"An addictive read." - Donna's Book Blog
England 1604. When biblical scholar Richard Clarke is invited to work on the King's new translation of the bible, it seems at first to be a gift from God. But Richard soon discovers there is a price to pay for his new-found favour, and that price is betrayal.
In an age when non-conformity is a crime, Richard's old friend Ben Kemp has recently returned from exile, hoping to worship in peace. But the king has begun to step up the hunt for dissenters and the net draws ever closer.
As the conflict escalates, Richard finds himself caught between loyalty and faith, until at last he is forced to make a devastating choice.
