Vow of Gold

Unputdownable Historical Fiction: A Medieval Manuscript Mystery in World War Two

By: Megan Easley-Walsh

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

They must find the Book of Gold or risk ruin and disaster in World War Two England.

Graham Doyle, an American, is doing what everyone else is doing: trying to survive the bombs and battles raging in Britain during the Second World War. But he’s also on the trail of a book from centuries ago that has the power to unlock a burning desire.

In 1222, an earthquake shatters a merchant’s confidence. With his life spared, he promises to make the most beautiful book the world has ever known. Keeping that promise proves even more difficult than surviving the earthquake. The rumor of the book reverberates through the centuries, but was it ever even written? If Graham can’t answer that question, he risks losing his sanity.

Graham’s secretary Lillian’s feet ache. She’s desperate for an orange. Living in the midst of war has its trials, large and small. But also, certain perks, like the handsome American solider who catches her eye at a dance. More than wartime love hangs in the balance, as Lillian must help Graham search for the book of gold. At stake? Forbidden love, keeping her job, avoiding death…not to mention, the Book of Gold.
