Description
Dark Territory is an epic historical adventure set during one of the most turbulent periods in history. In 17th-century England, Rhisiart Dafydd joins Oliver Cromwell's New Model Army and becomes embroiled in the violence of the English Civil Wars. Years later, he is called upon to voyage to America to seek out a missing group of Welsh Puritans. As he navigates the treacherous landscape of colonial America, Rhisiart must confront his own convictions and the atrocities he has witnessed. Can he find the community he seeks, or will the harsh realities of the New World prove too much for him? This gripping thriller poses questions about violence, power, and rejection of difference that are chillingly relevant to our world today. Jerry Hunter's vivid battle descriptions bring the cloud of war to life, while his portrayal of Rhisiart Dafydd's journey raises important questions about the human cost of extremism. A timely commentary on the dangers of religious extremism, Dark Territory is an unusual but intriguing slice of Colonial American history.
