Guns of the Lion (Faith & Freedom Trilogy, Book 2)

Author: Bond, DouglasPart of a Series: Faith & Freedom Trilogy

Douglas Bond’s sequel to Guns of Thunder: in which Gavin Crookshank has his first taste of battle at sea, when the HMS Lion engages in mortal struggle with the French allies of Bonnie Prince Charlie. A pawn in the hands of two opposing armies, Gavin attempts to act with integrity in a chaos of loyalties during the bloody Jacobite rebellion. He soon finds himself an unwilling conscript of King George II’s military service. It is the story of a maturing faith emerging out of conflicted loyalties in battles, within and without, wherein Gavin is forced to kill or be killed in bloody conflict during the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745 in Scotland.

Uncertain who is friend and who is foe, Gavin learns courage and duty and how to rely on God alone who makes wars to cease to the ends of the earth.

Bonnie Dundee

Author: Sutcliff, Rosemary

When young Hugh Herriot first met John Graham of Claverhouse, the legendary heroic leader of the King’s cavalry in Scotland, he knew his life would never be the same. Some said “Bloody Claver’se” was in league with the devil – but Hugh was determined to follow the dashing soldier anywhere.

Joining Claverhouse – Bonnie Dundee – meant turning against his own family, religious rebels called Covenanters, who were terrorizing the land. It meant fighting battles that would decide the fate of his king and country – and that were more harrowing than he could have imagined. Most of all it meant leaving Darklis, the beautiful, mysterious girl who shared his secrets – and his love.
