As war in 1680s Europe rages below, BOLESLAW RADOK, affectionately known as BOLEK, shepherds and hunts in Poland's High Tatra Mountains. His father like all able-bodied men is off at war and had neither trained his son in self defense nor left him a sword. BOLEK is attacked by a wolf and limps home for bandaging, then barely survives a farm raid that kills his grandfather. Four Polish knights vanquish the brigands then deliver BOLEKs fallen father's sword, a dying comrade's last wish. Bolek struggles with two options: stay on the farm he cannot defend well or follow his father's path to a life at war. Why are the knights reluctant to train him? The Tatra Eagle is an historical novel climaxing in the 1683 Battle of Vienna, seat of the Holy Roman Empire. A novel of Poland, the reader will learn of Polish history, culture, and tradition. The story contains fables, legends, folk tales, and songs. Our hero will engage gypsies, werewolves, ruthless brigands, a defrocked priest, and protectors of the common people. Ut Alii Vivant.
