History and good storytelling combine in Craig and Janet Parshall's exciting new series: the Thistle and the Cross.

It's 1546. The great William Wallace - 'Braveheart' - is long dead. But not the Scottish people's desire for freedom. The truths of the Reformation have set Scotland aflame again...

When Ransom Mackenzie witnesses one of the Scottish Reformers being burnt at the stake, he becomes an ardent follower of the great Protestant preacher John Knox.

In hiding, Ransom meets the captivating Margaret, who shares his religious convictions. But when he joins Knox in London, the allure of the court...and a young aristocratic lady...enthrall him. Will he return to the deepest desire of his spirit? What kind of love will he ultimately pursue?
