Heart of Rebellion

By Christina Eastwood

Tom Alford loves horses and he loves his work at Squire Prideaux's stables where Rapier, his master's magnificent gelding, is under his care. He loves it that is, until a mysterious stranger threatens to give him away for breaking a rule he did not even know existed. Now he is in the power of an informer who wants him to betray his friend, Nick. For Nick meets with a group of townspeople to read the Bible and pray together and this is 1685: such meetings are illegal. Nick wants Tom to think about serious issues of life and death but such things seem unreal: surely, death is a long way off. Or is it? When the squire and Tom's friends decide to back the Duke of Monmouth's rebel army, Tom is caught up in a conflict that leads to the brink of disaster. What will happen to Rapier in the battle and can Nick's friendship with wild creatures get them both out of danger?
