They left everything - faith, land, name - and boarded a ship bound for a world they'd never seen.
In the spring of 1635, Peter Worden loads his family onto a vessel at Bristol. Behind them: a Lancashire torn apart by religious persecution, a covenant with the land broken by men in black robes. Ahead: the unknown.
In the spring of 1635, Peter Worden loads his family onto a vessel at Bristol. Behind them: a Lancashire torn apart by religious persecution, a covenant with the land broken by men in black robes. Ahead: the unknown.
The crossing nearly kills them. The colony that receives them doesn't want them. The Puritans who run Plymouth see another mouth to feed, another family without proper godliness. But Peter didn't survive the Reformation, the fines, the informers, and the loss of everything his fathers built just to kneel again.
He buys land directly from the Native people - a fair deal, honestly struck - and it gets him hauled before the colonial court. He builds a house with his own hands. He plants his family in soil that owes nothing to any lord or bishop.
Then winter comes for him.
The Leyland Covenant: Book Two follows the Worden family from Bristol Harbor to the shores of New England, through the first brutal winter, the expedition that finds their land, and the death of the patriarch whose will - the first recorded in Plymouth Colony - leaves one nat goat... meate, drink and clothes to his young grandson, a boy barely old enough to remember him.
This is not the Mayflower story. This is what came after - when the real work began.
