Block Island Brotherhoods: Block Island Settlement Series - Book V

After the Murder of Anne Hutchinson, Puritan Massachusetts grows darker and more oppressive. The authorities use heavy-handed religious legalism and harsh punishments to control the population.
Back in England, Civil War rages as Scotland fights to reinstall the monarchy. The British capture a band of Highlanders and send them to America to serve a 7-year sentence of indenture in New England. This Brotherhood of Scotsmen work out their term at the Ironworks near the Hutchinson Mount Wollaston Farm.
James Sands, Thomas Terry, and Simon Ray form another Brotherhood with a shared desire to pursue adventure and freedom. Their mentor, Captain John Underhill moves to the Dutch border and continues providing settlers protection even as he pursues the renegade Audsah.
Anne Hutchinson's closest friend, Mary Dyer joins the Quaker faith. She is convinced it is her mission to challenge the Bay authorities. Her wounds from the past fester as the leaders in Boston imprison, torture, and threaten the lives of her brethren. She risks her life even while her husband William struggles to protect her.
How far will the leaders of Massachusetts go? Shall those being threatened and abused stay to resist or should they escape to establish a new haven of freedom?
