Produktbeschreibung

IT IS 742. The throne is empty; the pagan states are in rebellion; Charles Martel's widow Sunnichild and youngest son Gripho have been imprisoned, and trust between Carloman and Pippin - 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 Hiltrude has wed the leader of the rebellion - giving him the legitimacy of Charles's legacy. When Carloman and Pippin finally agree to put down the rebellion, Bertrada, the love of Pippin's life, is attacked on the king's road, escapes and goes into hiding.

Pippin suspects the Merovingian for the attack and searches for Bertrada, Carloman leaves for the war alone, and Hiltrude tries to convince her husband to make peace before he is killed by her siblings. Pippin must choose between finding his love and saving the kingdom; Carloman must gamble that he can put down the rebellion alone or sue for peace with the rebels, and Hiltrude must try save her husband from his own ambitions.

BASED ON A TRUE STORY, Wheel of the Fates picks up where the award-winning Anvil of God leaves off - chronicling the lives of Charles Martel's children as they vie for power in what's left of the kingdom...and their family.
