O knihe
England, 1703. A German swordmaker is jailed for smuggling Jacobite blades. Queen Anne will hang him for treason. Can the wily bladesmith escape a death sentence? Hermann Mohll is a German swordmaker who risks his life by defecting to England. Trying to save his family from poverty, he is caught smuggling swords for the Jacobite rebels. When Queen Anne takes a close interest, the smuggler is suspected of high treason. Mohll finds himself facing the ultimate punishment. Will he be hanged, drawn and quartered? In this tangled web of secrets and lies, just who is telling the truth? Can Mohll hold his tongue and escape the death sentence? If you like historical fiction based on real events, you'll love The Running Wolf by Helen Steadman, which is based on the real-life adventures of the Shotley Bridge swordmakers, who defected from Solingen, Germany in 1687. Ideal for fans of Pillars of the Earth, World Without End and Column of Fire by Ken Follett.
