In 1543, Adriaen Wens faces a harrowing choice: betray Menno Simons, the Anabaptist leader, for a reward that could save his imprisoned mother, or remain loyal and risk everything. As persecution looms, Adriaen's decision could alter the fate of his family and the underground church. With a hundred gold pieces at stake, will he sacrifice his conscience for freedom, or find another way to protect those he loves? The tension mounts as Adriaen grapples with loyalty, faith, and the price of betrayal in a world where danger lurks at every turn.
