Written by Douglas Bond, Illustrations by Matthew Bird Rebel's Keep concludes the Crown & Covenant series -it is volume 3- with a new, high-intensity adventure. Set in 17th-century Scotland, in the midst of the brutal persecutions of King Charles II of England, Rebel's Keep follows the history after Duncan's War and King's Arrow, the first two books in the series, and picks up the historical thread just before the devastating defeat of the Covenanters at Bothwell Brig, 1679. Thereafter, the story follows the fortunes of the M'Kethe family from the point of view of the two younger boys, Angus and Malcolm. Recommendations Douglas Bond has introduced a new generation to the heroics of the Scottish Covenanters, and he has done it in a delightful way. A gripping tale full of action, purpose, principle and character.--Ligon Duncan, Chancellor and CEO, Reformed Theological SeminaryRebel's Keep immerses the reader in 17th century Scotland. From the first page, the story's authenticity of time and place, its human feeling, its well-paced and exciting plot, and its compelling religious and ethical issues carry the reader along irresistibly.--Kent Gramm, Author of Gettysburg: This Hallowed Ground Paperback, 275 pages, list of characters, glossary of Scottish terms, timeline of Scottish Covenanting history Show more
