My favorite historical fiction.
Inspiring Christian content is great and these books put you right at home on the moors of 17th century Scotland.

1. Duncan's War
Duncan M’Kethe, oldest son of the family, finds himself torn by his hatred of his enemies and his father’s instructions to love them as he attempts to rescue his father. Join the godly M’Kethe family as they fight to remain true in their worship to God. This is a story that is filled with rich history and heroic action while filling us with awe for the heroes of faith in times past.
2. King's Arrow
Younger son, Angus M’Kethe, renowned for his expert archery skills, guards the family sheep as he watches for enemy soldiers and protects his neighbors and fellow Covenanters. His true test of manhood and marksmanship will come at the Battle of Drumclog. This gripping story, rooted in history, will captivate you from beginning to end.
3. Rebel's Keep
Rebel’s Keep concludes the Crown & Covenant series with a new, high-intensity adventure. Set in 17th century Scotland, in the midst of the brutal persecutions of King Charles II of England, Rebel’s Keep follows the history after Duncan’s War and King’s Arrow, the first two books in the series, and picks up the historical thread just before the devastating defeat of the Covenanters at Bothwell Brig, 1679. Thereafter the story follows the fortunes of the fictional M’Kethe family, from the point of view of the two younger boys, Angus and Malcolm.
