About this ebook
Set in the turbulent aftermath of King Charles’s execution, Ashes of the King's Year follows Sir John Kirkland and his young daughter Angela as they flee England for sanctuary in Louvain. Amid frozen landscapes, confiscated estates, and the sharpening divide of religion and politics, a wounded cavalier entrusts his child to a convent where faith, memory, and duty will shape her future. This historical tale evokes the costs of loyalty and the quiet resilience of those who live in exile, exploring how loss, allegiance, and forbidden longing reverberate across borders and generations. Rich period detail and compassionate character portraits bring the seventeenth-century world to life, from plundered manor houses to dim convent parlours, while intimations of larger European intrigues add depth to a personal story of survival and devotion.
