Not Without Mercy The Black Death

The Black Death--the first volume in the series Not Without Mercy--tells the story of William Beorn, a successful merchant and ship builder in Bristol England in 1348 who finds himself at the dawn of the world's most perilous outbreak, the Black Plague. William must save his wife Jillian, their adopted son Michael and the rest of his family and friends from the inevitable devastation of Bristol, and the probability of becoming one of the casualties of the plague which took the lives of twenty five million people, over one third of Europe's population.

The Black Plague caused a moral malaise throughout the land that grew greed, selfishness, insecurity, fear, brutality and wickedness. It caused the fearful to become faithless and the faithful to become fearless. Each struggled with the adversity and uncertainty differently, for some it was the end, but for others like William it was the beginning as they discovered that God had left them Not Without Mercy

."WARNING" If you can't handle a heart-wrenching story of a family's survival in the midst of death and destruction, this book is not for you! HOWEVER, if you like the
Historical fiction style of books by Ken Follett and the excitement of writers like James Patterson or John Grisham, you will LOVE the Not Without Mercy series by Phillip C. Wright!
