Bruno has lived for years among the Franks, learning their language, their writing, and their faith, yet Saxony has not released its hold on him. As Charlemagne's power pushes deeper eastward, Bruno becomes increasingly useful as an interpreter between conquerors and conquered. He sees law, order, and learning in the Frankish world, but he also sees the fear that stands behind them.
When Widukind returns as a symbol of Saxon resistance, old wounds reopen. Churches burn, oaths collapse, and men who once submitted begin to question whether peace has only become another name for obedience. Bruno's brother Bernwald moves closer to rebellion, while Bruno is pulled toward the dangerous middle ground between loyalty to family and the demands of empire.
As the Saxon Wars harden, Bruno must face the terrible cost of being able to understand both sides. The road leads toward the Süntel mountain, where ambition, anger, faith, and vengeance will collide.
A bilingual English-German historical novel of Charlemagne's Saxon Wars.
