A Wider World

"Facing execution, a man's only weapon is the truth. Robin Lewis returns to England after five years in exile, only to be arrested and condemned as a heretic by the ailing Queen Mary. With only his wits to guide him, he makes a desperate gamble: to share his story with his captor, William Hawkins, hoping to find mercy before his time runs out. His tale unfolds against a backdrop of political intrigue, religious upheaval, and poignant personal struggles as he transforms from a devout young man raised in the monasteries to a disillusioned skeptic, questioning his faith and his place in the world. As days pass and the shadow of the Tower looms ever closer, will Robin's captor be swayed by his story? Will the young Queen Elizabeth arrive in time to grant him clemency? Or will Robin's story be his last confession?"--
