Alexander Pembroke is a man of many dark sins, and after his father passes away, he finds that many vexing responsibilities fall into his lap- one in particular, a meek but lovely young woman who seems to attract danger- as well as himself.

In the first installment of this series, God's Country, a Christian revolution overwhelmed Britain, and we followed a number of characters through a harrowing year as the world changed around them. In the second episode, we pick up their lives several years later, with the new government fully in control, but approaching a general election, where their actions will be judged by the people. Will Brogan escape? Will the Reformists be kicked out of power? Will there be lots of trouble and emotional suffering? You bet... This story is already finished, but I am going to release it slowly to see how that affects the readership, so every couple of days.
