Of Heaven and Hellfire - Paperback

by Michelle Elliott (Author)

England, 1587. Beth Dudley serves as a quiet maid in the grand halls of Bodsworth Manor, where loyalty to Queen Elizabeth is law-and hiding a Catholic priest is treason. But when Beth learns the truth about her employer's secret faith and uncovers a crucifix near a brothel, she is pulled into a deadly game of cat and mouse.
Reverend Holbrook and the brutal Sir Richard Bayne arrive to expose heretics and make examples of sympathizers. As Beth becomes entangled in a covert network protecting hunted priests, she must navigate dangerous secrets, shifting alliances, and unravel a past far more complicated than she ever imagined.
Beside her is Gareth Montgomery, a stable hand with a firebrand heart and dreams of freedom, and Nicholas Owen, a carpenter with a quiet mission-and everything to lose.
As persecution escalates and the noose tightens around the manor, Beth must risk everything to protect the innocent, outwit her enemies, and save the man she loves. But in a world ruled by fear, will faith and love be enough?
Of Heaven and Hellfire is a sweeping tale of courage, conscience, and the quiet heroes history almost forgot.
