IN 1640, ENGLAND IS PRIMED FOR CIVIL WAR. The line between faith and politics blurs as King Charles I and Parliament clash over the right to rule England. When the sword-edge of war falls on South Wales, it divides Dorothy Vaughan and Richard Heywood, childhood friends and would-be lovers. Dorothy, choosing the King's side, finds refuge behind the massive walls of Raglan Castle. Richard takes up arms for Parliament.
In a daring midnight raid on Raglan, Richard falls into Dorothy's hands. Will she set him free or make him a prisoner? Aware of her accountability to God and to the King, but torn by her inner longings, she makes her decision.
George MacDonald (1824-1905) was a Scottish clergyman, novelist, poet, and writer of fantasy for children and adults. He authored more than fifty books, which are being rediscovered by a new generation of MacDonald enthusiasts.
Dan Hamilton, a freelance writer, has long studied and enjoyed the writings of George MacDonald, C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Charles Williams, and G.K. Chesterton. Dan and his wife, Elizabeth, live in Indianapolis, Indiana.
