Crown & Covenant Series

If you are a lover of history, than this book will show you a bit of it that is rarely heard. The Crown & Covenant Series follows the lives of the M'Kethe family as they endure persecution in 17th-century Scotland. The author, Douglas Bond, expertly mixes fiction and history, leaving you content and well informed.

Here is an excerpt from book 1, 'Duncan's War':

Just as he had hoped: their attack was wholly unexpected. He hesitated, heart beating wildly against his ribs. Could he do it? Then, leaping to his feet, his stout weapon held aloft in defiance, he roared, "For the Crown, and for the Covenant!"
