A Change in the Wind: Revolution and Reichsfall

0/5 ( ratings)

The Holy Roman Empire has crumbled, and upon its bones, Napoleon is building another.
But the darkness is deeper than wars and politics. A spiritual battle is spreading across the quiet towns and bustling cities of the Germanies. Old gods rise and threaten to spread an evil beyond anyone’s understanding, leaving the defense of the world to a small company of modest but brave souls.
Räder Wunderwahn, a young man with a past he cannot remember, searches for his identity—which is tied closer to the darkness than he suspects. He is helped by a young woman who—inspired by the ideals of the revolution—has ambitious plans of her own. Monsignor Frederick discovers the subtle power of Nibelungen gold forged centuries before and struggles against that influence by assembling a small company to exorcise the ancient evil that is arising to conquer the world with a new Reich. All the while, a dying lost race with distant claims upon the gold fights to get it back for themselves, to restore their ancient glory.
Set in Central Europe at the beginning of the 19th Century, A Change in the Wind chronicles the spreading darkness and the deeds of those simple people caught in the grip of a fight they cannot win, and often cannot even fathom.
This trilogy mixes real historical characters with imagined ones—along with the Nibelungen legends—to tell a story of human loss and forgiveness. Deep as Dostoevsky, but clear as Hemingway, this is the book that will transport you into a past known only by a few.
Put on the tea, stir up the fire, sit back, and hold on for a ride through legendary and revolutionary Europe. Passion, terror, treason, and forgiveness await you.
