About this Event

We are delighted to be joined by bestselling author of The Last Witch of Scotland (Waterstones Scottish Book of the Year 2024), Philip Paris, as he joins us on Tuesday 11th November, at 7pm to discuss his powerful, epic tale of love, faith and survival, A Fire in Their Hearts.

SCOTLAND, 1662.

Hunted, held prisoner and banished for a belief...

As civil war rages and King Charles II tightens his grip on the Church of Scotland, childhood sweethearts Violet and Samuel are swept into a violent struggle for religious freedom. They pledge their hearts to each other - and to a cause that will test their faith, courage and love beyond measure.

Hunted as rebels, imprisoned behind the walls of the infamous Greyfriars Kirkyard and torn from their homeland, Violet and Samuel are sentenced to a life of indentured servitude on the brutal sugar plantations of Barbados. But when their ship wrecks off the coast of Orkney, they become separated.

Alone and captive in a foreign land, Violet must summon every ounce of strength to survive the horrors she faces - and to cling to the hope that Samuel is still alive. Can love endure across oceans, through wars and captivity?
