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.
