A Fire in Their Hearts with Philip Paris

Join bestselling author Philip Paris as he explores one of the darkest but most significant periods in Scotland’s history with his latest gripping historical fiction, A Fire in Their Hearts. Set during the brutal civil war of the 17th century, the novel follows childhood sweethearts Violet and Samuel, caught up in the fight between ordinary Scottish folk known as Covenanters and various monarchs over who heads the Church of Scotland. A Fire in Their Hearts brings a (largely forgotten) turbulent chapter of Scottish history vividly to life, including how captured Covenanters were often banished to the plantations … a fate that awaits Violet, who arrives on a sugar plantation in Barbados early in 1680.
