Pulled back from the brink by strangers and bound by gratitude, Robert is drawn into the search for a young Calvinist pastor imprisoned in Mainz. But Robert isn't just any soldier fighting in the early years of the Thirty Years War. He's also an English priest. Facing darkness and corruption, Robert and his new friends travel across Germany, calling on the courts of dukes, princes and a dowager queen, and seeking aid for the outnumbered defenders of the Palatinate. How can an Austrian priest, a reformed pastor, and a disillusioned Anglican sow the seeds of reconciliation in a Christian church at war with itself? And has an assassin targeted Robert? Called into Service is the first book of the Robert Curtis Mysteries, a series exploring politics, religion, and stories of faith, mercy, justice, and love.
