'A worthy continuation of the Seton Chronicles, packed with personal, political and religious tension and intrigue.' Margaret Skea, award winning author.
Italy 1555. Bethia and her growing family find themselves in the midst of the Inquisition's vicious attack on Jews and Conversos. Despite Bethia's commitment to her Catholic faith, her greater loyalty to her Converso husband forces them to flee onwards to Constantinople - but will it be a any safer?
For Will, Bethia's brother, it's equally perilous to be a Protestant. Caught up in France's religious turmoil, where many are burned for their faith, his choice is stark; fight or accept a martyr's death.
Set amid the treacherous landscape of Reformation Europe, where faiths divide and shifting allegiances dictate survival, can the strength of family endure?
