He preaches truth. The Crown calls it treason.
It's 1771, and tensions run high in colonial North Carolina. Frontier preacher Robert Boothe has spent the last four years standing against unlawful taxes and government corruption.
To his close-knit congregation, Robert is a courageous man of God who defends the truth. To his wife and young daughter, he's a devoted protector who longs to shield them from the growing unrest. To the governor's men, he's a rebel who preaches a dangerous gospel of God-given freedom.
No one sees the doubts he wrestles in his own heart.
Then the governor's ambitious new agent arrives to make an example of Robert's resistance. Robert refuses to back down, even when he's arrested in front of his church on a Sunday morning. But when his family and church are caught in the crossfire, what price will Robert pay to keep them safe?

Jayna Baas (pronounced as in "baa, baa, black sheep") is the award-winning author of the For Liberty & Conscience series and serves as director of The Christian PEN: Proofreaders and Editors Network. She writes and edits from beautiful northern Michigan, where she strives to give readers faith-filled adventures bursting with courageous characters and biblical truth.In between writing her own books and editing other people's books, Jayna seeks out new adventures on the screen, on the page, and in the kitchen. She also loves to spend time with her great family of real people and the family of pretend people who live in her head. (Yes, she does know her characters are not real. No, she does not want you to tell them she said so.)Although her love of words extends to multiple genres, Jayna's favorite story is this: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16).
