The king's mercy : a novel
(Large Print)

Regular print version previously published by: WaterBrook, an imprint of Random House.

Captured rebel Scotsman Alex MacKinnon is granted the king's mercy-- exile to the Colony of North Carolina. Indentured to Englishman Edmund Carey as a blacksmith, Alex is drawn into the struggles of Carey's slaves-- and those of his stepdaughter, Joanna Carey. She is expected to wed her father's overseer, Phineas Reeves, but finds herself drawn instead to the new blacksmith. As tragedies strike the Careys, blame falls unfairly upon Alex. He flees, and encounters Reverend Pauling, itinerate preacher and friend of the Careys, now a prisoner of the Cherokees. Can Alex embrace the faith of a man like Pauling, whose freedom in Christ no man can steal? -- adapted from back cover
