Synopsis
Puritans. Quakers. Pirates. Mohawks. Witches. And a brutal warâŠ
If you thought New England was dull in the 1670s, get ready for a history lesson.
In the critically acclaimed âMy Fatherâs Kingdom,â debut author James W. George transported his readers to 1671 New England, and the world of Reverend Israel Brewster. It was a world of faith, virtue, and love, but it was also a world of treachery, hatred, and murder.
Four years later, Brewster is a disgraced outcast, residing in Providence and working as a humble cooper. Despite his best efforts, war could not be averted, and now, âKing Philipâs Warâ has begun.
The rebellion is led by Metacomet, known as âKing Philipâ to the English colonists. He is the tormented son of the great Massasoit, and leader of the Wampanoag nation. Once the most reliable of Plymouth Colonyâs allies, they are now the bitterest of enemies. Meanwhile, Metacometâs mysterious counselor, Linto, despises this war and will do anything to end the bloodshed.
Meticulously researched, âThe Prophet and the Witchâ is a tale of hope and brotherhood in the face of evil and violence. It features the remarkable cast of fictional and historical characters from book one, including Josiah Winslow, Linto, Increase Mather, Constance Wilder, and Jeremiah Barron. Additionally, new characters such as Americaâs first ranger, Captain Benjamin Church, bring this chapter of history to life like never before.

About the Narrator: Angus Freathy
Angus Freathy was born and educated in London â thatâs the one in England, for you Ohio folks!
After qualifying as a Chartered Accountant, he went to Switzerland to join Nestlé for a 2-year wandering assignment, which lasted 37 years and involved travel and work on every continent (except the cold ones at the top and bottom).
Periods of residence in the U.S., Hong Kong and Switzerland have resulted in a network of friends and acquaintances with an amazing range of world insight and a wide repertoire of mostly excellent jokes.
Since retirement, Angus and his (still working) wife, Debra have lived in Oregon, Maryland and are now in Dublin, Ohio, âthe only place we have actually chosen to live since we have been married!â.
Following a crushing rejection by the BBC at the age of 19, Angus is re-activating a long-held ambition and launching a new career in voice-over, with the sole intention of having some fun and being in touch with some very talented people.
