Bo Giertz wrote Faith Alone in 1943.
It is a prequel to his better-known novel, The Hammer of God.
The novel begins in 1540 and ends in 1543, during which time the largest peasant revolt in the history of Scandinavia occurred under the leadership of Nils Dacke.
The Dacke Rebellion, as it is known, started in the county of Sm land but bled over into the Ydre district on sterg tland's southern border with Sm land.
The plot follows the story of two brothers, Anders and Ma.
