The Final Sacrament is the third and final book of
the excellent trilogy that began with Sacred Treason. It is Elizabethan London and those following
the Catholic religion are not safe.
William Harley, Clarenceux King of Arms and herald to Queen Elizabeth is
a secret Catholic and holder of a document that could bring Queen Elizabeth
down. Catholic rebels want the
document to put their own Catholic ruler on the thrown and will stop at nothing
to make it happen, including kidnapping Clarenceux’s wife and daughter. Clarenceux knows the stakes are high and will
stop at nothing to get his family back together.
I enjoyed this action packed novel, although I did
find it rather sad. But it would have
been a sad time to live in. I enjoyed
the entire trilogy. It really got me
thinking about what it would have been like to have been a common person living
during such perilous time, and how lucky I am to live in a time and place where
I can practice my religion without fear of persecution.
Overall, The Final Sacrament was a thought provoking
action-packed historical fiction novel.
I highly recommend it and the entire trilogy.
