The Namesake : Truth Is Freedom

The Church of The Holy Union has kept the peace for forty years but the world cannot hold more than one truth that says all others are false. The girl has no name, none of them do: they are namesakes of the Family Trevelian. She works the land and praises the Living Saints with all her heart. When faith turns to violence and she is injured in a bomb blast her world begins to unravel. Isolated from her community and thrust into a world of bloodshed she learns the truth that underpins the great city of Amynthia... She must survive. Our future depends on her. A note from the author I have always been fascinated by religious faith: the way it can be a source of comfort and good and yet be manipulated to make people do dreadful things. The Namesake is my attempt to explore this. It is set in a world where the religious elite have laboured to be a positive influence on society but as you can guess this does not last. On a broader level it is a story about how we must rise to the challenges that life throws at us. I'm told it is a page-turner and that the characters you will meet are ones that you will want to get to know. I hope you enjoy it. Reviews are really important to an independently published author so if you want to do me a favour please consider posting a review on Amazon.
