Sword of Peace

Pub Date 10 Feb 2018
I am reviewing a copy of Sword of Peace through BooksGoSocial and Netgalley:
In this book we are transported back to the Sixteenth century Netherlands.
Anna thinks she’s an unlovable spinster, because she’s still unmarried at 20.
In Holland the court is hunting for heretics, heretic women are drowned and buried alive as the Reformation is taking place all throughout Europe. Anabaptists and those who support them are shown no mercy leaving Anna with the choose of staying loyal to her Catholic faith or staying loyal to her friends who have done nothing wrong.
After Adriaene’s wife and Anna’s friend dies of fever, Anna is able to look after their children while he travels through the Netherlands, sharing this dangerous new faith with others. Anna is comforter by the fact he will come back because of the children if he’s not arrested first.
She can only hope the authorities do not figure out where her true authorities lies.
When the turmoil and persecution in her country forced Anna to flee, Anna can not help but wonder if she will ever find peace again. Will the God of the Anabaptists Faith be strong enough to bring her loved ones back together again?
I give Sword of Peace five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
