1541: The Cataclysm

By Robert William Jones

revised

1541: The Cataclysm opens as Henry VIII prepares to visit York after a northern uprising against his break from the Church and the destruction of monasteries. Amid this turmoil, a band of unlikely misfits choose to hold fast to the teachings of the Gospels.

Their stories intertwine: Ed Fawkes and Richard Shakespeare; Wynnfrith, a young woman with cerebral palsy who finds herself ministering to theHenry VIII; her sister Elspeth, a spirited nun; the Mayor of York; a comic showman; and Silas, a tender-hearted autistic youth navigating a world with no place for the vulnerable.

Through their eyes-and perhaps through the mysterious witness of a presumed time-traveller who belives himslef to be a mouse, the Reformation becomes more than politics and power. It is a struggle for faith, truth, and light in an age of upheaval.
And of course you will encounter all the well know personalities and issues of the Tudor age

The Micklegate Series immerses readers in Tudor intrigue-royalty, plots, relics, and mysteries-while always reminding us that God's kingdom is not shaken by kings.
