When the Heavens Fall

by Gilbert Morris Book 2 in the Winslow Breed series.

Amazon
4.1(226)

During the reign of Mary I, Brandon Winslow begins as a reckless young man more interested in gambling and taverns than religion. After disgrace in the army leaves him drifting with Lupa, the Romani woman who helped nurse him back to health, the intensifying persecution of Protestants forces him into a conflict he had previously tried to avoid.

Mary’s marriage to Philip of Spain and her attempt to restore Catholicism sharpen the danger surrounding reformers and their supporters. Brandon’s personal recovery becomes tied to resistance, conscience and the choices of a family living through a period when religious allegiance could determine imprisonment, exile or death.
