THE COVENANT KEEPERS historical novel is based on a true story to be published by Stone Tower Press in early 2026

Generational courage, ancestral secrets, and a young man's destiny shaped by history.

In 19th-century Minneapolis, a devastating riding accident changes young Will Faries’ life forever. Confined to bed and unsure if he’ll walk again, he begins a soul-searching journey that reaches far beyond his own lifetime. Guided by his father’s stories and ancestral documents, Will uncovers the gripping legacies of his forebears—David Farrie, a Scottish Covenanter martyred for his faith during “The Killing Time,” and Jacques Colbert, a Franco-Scottish spy entangled in the shadowy court of Louis XIV. As Will’s body heals, so too does his understanding of purpose. Each tale offers insight, strength, and a renewed sense of responsibility. Across centuries and oceans—from Scotland’s blood-soaked moors to China’s turbulent Boxer Rebellion—these ancestors fought for freedom, faith, and family. Their stories empower Will to embrace his own destiny in a rapidly changing world. The Covenant Keepers is a sweeping, emotionally rich saga that celebrates moral conviction, generational resilience, and the sacred threads that bind us all. A must-read for fans of historical fiction that echoes long after the final page.
