Outlast the Empire #984421

For generations, English Catholic families survived in secret.

Their priests were hunted. Their children could be taken. Their faith became a crime.

But the families who refused to disappear carried something across the Atlantic that would help change history forever.

Outlast the Empire tells the hidden story of the recusant families — the Calverts, Arundells, and Howards — whose struggle for survival helped lay the foundations of religious freedom in America.

From hidden chapels in Tudor England to the founding of Maryland, this is a story of faith, exile, silence, and endurance against impossible odds.
