The Flame: The Calling of Elias Cromwell Book I of The Republic Reborn Trilogy By Dennis Anthony Lee “He lost everything in the fire—until he found God within it.” When the King’s soldiers burn his home and family under royal decree, Elias Cromwell falls to his knees in the ashes of despair. But from within the ruin, a voice calls his name through the flames— a divine commission that will change the course of history: “You will not fight the King with a musket. You will fight him with a pen.” From that moment, the farmer becomes the prophet of a coming Republic. Armed with nothing but parchment, conscience, and unshakable faith, Elias begins to write The Common Resolve —a revolutionary manuscript that will awaken a people and defy a crown. His words become rebellion. His faith becomes fire. And his pen becomes the weapon no empire can silence. But every revelation demands sacrifice. Hunted by the King’s soldiers, betrayed by his own countrymen, and tried before a secret court, Elias must choose between saving his life—or saving the soul of a nation.
