Despite his best efforts, the only thing to reign after Charles Martel's death is chaos. His daughter refuses to marry a Lombard prince. His two eldest sons question the rights of their younger pagan stepbrother, and the Church demands a steep price for their support. Son battles son, Christianity battles paganism, and Charles's daughter flees his court for an enemy's love. Based on a true story, the Carolingian Chronicles are a whirlwind of love, honor, sacrifice, and betrayal that follows a bereaved family's relentless quest for power and destiny.
"It is 742. The throne is empty; the pagan states are in rebellion; Charles Martel's widow and youngest son have been imprisoned, and the trust between the two brothers who remain in power has been shattered. Making matters worse, the Church is secretly conspiring to place a Merovingian on the throne and Charles's daughter is marrying the leader of the rebellion--giving him the legitimacy of Charles's legacy"--Front jacket flap.
