About this audiobook
Scotland, 1746. Fourteen-year-old Evan Jones leaves his home in Wales to serve as a drummer with the Royal Welch Fusiliers. As government forces march north to confront the Jacobite rebellion, Evan finds himself swept into one of the most tragic chapters in British history—the Battle of Culloden.
Through hardship, friendship, and sacrifice, Evan must face the realities of war while holding fast to the values of family, faith, and duty. Inspired by historical events, The Cross and the Drum is a moving coming-of-age novella that brings the human side of history to life through the eyes of a young soldier.
