When he returns home after fighting in the English Civil War, Fenlander Tom Swainson is full of hope for a New Age of equality where the rights of commoners will be protected, as promised by his old commander, Oliver Cromwell. But although the hamlet where he lives was untouched by the fighting, he finds that much has changed during his absence. His wife is with child by his friend, Matthew Hobday, and his livelihood is threatened by the 'Venturers', who wish to enclose and drain the Fens. Swainson, with a group of like-minded Fenlanders, sets off to find Cromwell, believing he will stop the drainage works and protect their rights as commoners. But the promises of politicians cannot always be trusted.

Set in the turbulent and uncertain years following the execution of Charles I, Cromwell's Promise is a powerful story of betrayal and redemption.
