Rated 5 STARS!!!

A dark age nicely put into the spotlight!

This tale has everything to keep you turning the pages till you meet up with the back cover!  It's nicely written and characters are interesting and real.  It's also an interesting period - a time when in the twilight of the Roman Empire and the reshuffling of the European powers to be - the basis of where today's Europe was laid.  Foundations that carried its future and its destiny.  You won't regret having read this book - its a nice way to learn about this early history!

Tenth-century Germany is a divided country, ever at the mercy of its ruthless power-hungry dukes.  Then Heinrich, Duke of Saxony and Thuringia, meets the virtuous Countess Matilda of Westphalia.

Reluctant to wed at first, Matilda slowly grows to love her charismatic and courageous husband who dreams of one day uniting Germany and becoming king. 

But as Heinrich's attentions turn again and again to waging war upon the enemy Magyars and growing ever more powerful, turmoil plagues him and he is charged with treason. 

With a death sentence upon his head, Heinrich fights back until a twist of fate helps him realize his ultimate dream. 

The turbulent clashes and the personal destinies of the people caught in this medieval tale are magnificently interwoven in this sweeping novel of power and passion, loyalty and lies. 

Amidst bloody wars, scheming dukes, towns under siege, and virtuous women, Heinrich and Matilda conquer the world of their times. 


History and fiction combine to bring to life this tangled, tempestuous era.
