John Enderby
John Enderby
The English Civil War tears a nation apart, but for one Lincolnshire squire, the real battle is between conscience and crown. John Enderby is a man of hard-won land and harder principles, who finds himself trapped in a monarch's desperate gambit. When Charles I forces knighthood upon his reluctant subjects, Enderby refuses not from rebellion but from the simple, devastating truth that the honor comes with taxes he cannot pay without losing everything his family has built. What follows is a father's desperate flight through a kingdom turned against itself, where loyalty becomes treason and truth bends beneath the weight of power. Enderby must protect his children from a world that has criminalized his integrity, all while an estranged son chooses a different path through the chaos. This is a story of what happens when a man refuses to compromise his honor in an age that demands he must, and the unexpected redemption that comes from standing firm when everything crumbles.
