London is filled with the bishop's soldiers, old acquaintances, and long-time friends who want to convert the 'heretics' to Catholicism... or wipe them out.Laurence longs for someone who will stand with him no matter the cost, but who can he trust? Those he loves most have rejected him. Those who now seek his friendship could do the same, or worse.As the Voice of the ashes leads Laurence onward and consequences grow grimmer, will he stand for truth, even if it means standing alone?About the AuthorT.R.Q.T. is a daughter of the King with a passion for historical fiction.
