Generations of one family seeking religious freedom and truth . .

. Fleeing deadly persecution across time, an ocean, and a continent.

Through valor and malice, devotion, and betrayal, will they ever find safety?Daniel Reynaud, a French archer, travels to Italy in 1487, answering the Pope’s call to destroy the dangerous Waldensian heretics. The brutality inflicted in the name of God compels Daniel to question everything he knows as true.

In 1560, John Reynaud knows nothing of war, but Catholic marauders terrorizing his fellow Calvinists leave this gentle farmer no choice but to protect his way of life. Forming an unlikely alliance with teenaged sharpshooter Marianne, John fights to save his people through the treacherous, snow-covered Italian Alps.

Nearly 300 years later, Protestant James Reynaud hears echoes of himself and his ancestors in the Mormon missionaries’ stories of a people persecuted for their beliefs. Facing increased religious oppression from his neighbors, James flees to the United States, only to endure threats there as both a Mormon pioneer and a foreigner.

When the U. S.

government attempts to destroy his people with a military force—James fightsback. Will he ever find a place where his family can worship in peace.
