A rich historical novel about a woman’s pilgrimage to Santiago The year is 1368: Tilla Willinger’s life changes in an instant when her father dies. Worried about the fate of his soul, the merchant’s last request was that his heart be brought to Santiago de Compostela. But Tilla’s brother Otfried doesn’t care about his father’s last wish, nor about his desire to marry Tilla off to Damian, the mayor’s son. Instead, he forces Tilla to marry the mayor’s bitter foe. Tilla’s new husband dies on their wedding night. Since her brother sold her out and the relatives of her dead husband are after her, Tilla decides to flee, breaking into her parents’ house to get the little box with her father’s heart to take it to Santiago. She also takes the iron coffer that contains her marriage contract and her father’s will. What she doesn’t know is that there are also much more explosive papers inside. To throw off possible pursuers, she dresses up as a young man and joins a group of pilgrims. The journey is difficult and full of dangers, but she also finds love along the way. And it soon becomes apparent that her pilgrimage will only be complete if she can find an answer to the intrigues and oppression in her hometown … Iny Lorentz Bride of Fire 720 pages, 3-426-66241-0 October 2007 The latest historical novel from a top-selling author The Thirty Years’ War: 17-year-old Irmela von Hochberg and her father have to abandon their home to save themselves from the approaching Swedes. Their group of refugees falls into the hands of an enemy patrol. Irmela is able to flee into the woods. The men meet their death, however, and the rest of the women, among them the famous beauty Ehrentraud von Lexenthal, are raped. Ehrentraud says the only way Irmela could have saved herself is through witchcraft. This plays right into the hands of Xaver von Lexenthal, the prior of a monastery that was destroyed by the Swedes. Earlier, Lexenthal wanted to have Irmela’s mother burned as a witch, but the influential Duke Wolfgang Wilhelm thwarted him. And since now Wolfgang Wilhelm is taking custody of Irmhilde’s daughter, Lexenthal makes sure not to take action openly. The cast of characters also includes the shady Helene who wants to get Irmela out of the way so her own children will inherit a fortune … Iny Lorentz is a regular in the Top 15 on the bestseller list. Most notably, her novel The Traveling Harlot sold 900.000 copies in paperback! HISTORICAL FICTION 1 Birgit Jäckel The Druidess 540 pages, 3-426-19760-8 Spring 2008 Southern Germany, 120 B.C.: Young Talia has despised her father ever since she heard that he had ordered her to be killed as soon as she was born. Yet she was rescued, and she comes of age in a school for druids, where she learns the art of healing. Soon she discovers that her skills extend much further: she can see people’s souls and protect them from terrible things. Should she use her remarkable gifts for the good of others, or should she serve the druids unquestioningly? Talia is in danger of becoming the puppet of the ambitious and power-mad druid Ientus. If he only had a child with Talia’s skills he’d have those powers at his permanent disposal, so he plans to impregnate Talia, by force if need be. She hears of this and flees to Alte-Stadt, home of the powerful Caran, head of a mighty clan. When she’s offered a job in Caran’s household, she agrees. She knows something Caran doesn’t: that he is her father! Ientus arrives in Alte-Stadt, with plans to forcibly bring Talia back to druid school. Would Talia ever use her powers to help her father, of all people? Birgit Jäckel has written her first novel in the age of 15. She studied ethnology. At the moment she works for the Alternative Nobelpreis. Die Druidin is her first novel.
