The Hammer of God

Description

Charles Martel never wanted to be king. Born the bastard son of the Leader of the Franks, disowned by his father and imprisoned by his stepmother, he seems destined to live life in obscurity. But when the kingdom of Francia falls to pieces, Charles is the only one capable of putting it back together. To do this he must fight recalcitrant nobles, power-hungry bishops, and the fierce determination of one impossible, unfathomable woman.

The Hammer of God is a story of war and love, based upon Charles Martel’s quest to dispel a mighty Arab invasion at the Battle of Tours.
