Escape From Kyburg Castle


Book Description

Anxious, trying times describe Switzerland in the early 1500s. Large numbers of Anabaptists are imprisoned. In fact, Kyburg Castle is full. Yet they won't fight. The more they are punished, the larger their group becomes. And Regina wonders... A mandate demands the drowning of anyone who rebaptizes another. But the Anabaptists continue to do so. What's more, they won't reveal who baptized them, even at the threat of torture. And Regina wonders... She wonders why more and more good people are risking their lives by abandoning the state religion. She wonders if indeed her spiritual welfare was taken care of when she was an infant. She wonders how the captivating Peter Reimann can justify leading prisoners up the hill to the tower prison. She wonders, becomes informed, then makes a decision.
