Overview

Newly married and freshly returned to service, Rob Llewellyn is deployed at short notice to Afghanistan. As he adjusts to the brutal pace of combat operations, his wife Anne - still in Australia - is blindsided by a war crimes investigation into an incident she believed long buried. Separated by continents but united by pressure, Rob and Anne are forced to confront more than physical distance. Each faces battles they cannot share, in systems that demand silence and reward obedience. And as the true cost of service comes into focus, they begin to see that the greatest threat may not come from the Taliban - but from within. A story of love under fire, institutional betrayal, and the unseen injuries of war, A Wind of Bitter Tears is a powerful exploration of what happens when the uniform protects everything... except the people who wear it.

Author Information

Roger Marsh is the author of The Shepherd's Overwatch series of novels, which are drawn from his own service as a Padre in the Australian Army during the War on Terror. Serving alongside frontline troops in Afghanistan, Roger witnessed the brutal realities of modern conflict - not only its physical toll, but its deep psychological and spiritual wounds. The son of a Korean War veteran, Roger was raised in rural Australia, where he developed a love for the outdoors, martial arts, and the quiet resilience of country life. Before joining the Army, Roger attended the University of Queensland, where he gained a Bachelor of Arts with specialisation in Biblical languages and political sociology, and also worked in the security sector. These experiences combined to further shape his understanding of human complexity, and of hazards that can come in the line of duty. In time, he also completed theological studies, and went into the ministry. Roger lives with his wife and family in rural Queensland. He is also an avid scale modeller, archer, and marksman, as well as being a Welsh speaker. Not currently in paid ministry, Roger divides his time between writing, mentoring, cooking, walking dogs, and hanging around with his family.
