It is 1637, and religious conflict ebbs and flows across Europe. After decades of peace in England, young men become mercenaries to fight for principle, wealth or adventure. Richard Farrell enlists in the Low Countries, looking for a purpose to his life, and finds love, a career and a series of moral dilemmas. Sir William Brereton, prominent Puritan, and rising star in England’s Parliament, struggles to find God’s task for him in the growing political conflict with the King. Both men have their worlds turned upside down by encounters with the fey and mysterious Marleigh Hume, a woman pursuing a singular goal, to understand the very nature of life itself. At its heart, the At the Edge of Promises series is about purpose and passion – how religion, love, and politics drive the stories of people through the dramatic upheavals of the Civil War. In Sow the Wind, decisions and actions set wheels of fate in motion - wheels of tragedy, vengeance and redemption - with the interwoven stories coming to surprising and dramatic conclusions in the second book in the series, Reap the Whirlwind.
