Frankfort is in uproar because the robber barons of the Rhine have strangled the river’s trade, and the great archbishops of Mayence, Treves and Cologne seem powerless. In a tavern cellar a bargain is struck with a newcomer who offers to open the river, and the ironworkers’ guild, a travelling priest and the proud Countess von Sayn are drawn into the struggle.
A rollicking medieval adventure with wit and romance, by the Scots-Canadian author of The Countess Tekla. Download the free EPUB.
