Book
The Winds of God
First published 1994
During the reign of Elizabeth I, members of the Wakefield and Morgan families are drawn into the religious and political struggle surrounding England’s conflict with Spain. Private loyalties are tested by the same divisions that shape the court: Protestant and Catholic allegiance, fear of invasion and uncertainty over how far conscience should bend to national duty.
The approach of the Spanish Armada turns those tensions into immediate danger. The novel follows its fictional families through a crisis in which naval preparation, intelligence and religious conviction become inseparable, placing domestic relationships alongside the larger contest that will decide whether Philip II can impose military pressure on Elizabethan England.
