With the demise of Roman Imperial power Germanic Kings across Europe, specifically the Merovingian clan of the Franks, have emerged as clear leaders rivaling all others in fierceness and ability to subjugate. Primarily the women of these Kings exhibit uncanny ability to influence and control their brutal monarchs.
It is an era when Pagan conversion to Christianity is at its peak, and the Patriarchal Catholic Church has gained a strong foothold in the Germanic and English Kingdoms. Rapidly, the Clergy are becoming fed up with the power and influence these women have over their men…
Growing up in the household of the Merovingian King, Dagobert I, Princess Malgven is afforded the finest education of the time period: Boethius, her Greek tutor, and instruction from Gallo-Roman clergy. When she witnesses the savage murder of her Saxon mother for sorcery, scarcely escaping a similar fate, Malgven’s mind and spirit shatters… Under the pantheistic practices of her Scotti grandmother she recovers and flourishes in the savage wilds of the Saxon Territories.
After the sudden death of Malgven’s Saxon husband, King Dagobert fetches his daughter home as an honored advisor on his council, a role which Germanic Kings have valued in beloved female kin for centuries. Malgven’s mystic abilities prove both advantageous and dangerous as she repeatedly out-maneuvers the Frankish political web of court intrigue.
At the death of this powerful Merovingian King the Frankish magnates plot the destiny of his most private and independent daughter. Outmaneuvering them again, Malgven flees to the west finding herself and her young daughter caught at odds with the gallant but savage King Judicael, High King of the Bretons. Backed by her Merovingian child King half brothers the Frankish magnates turn their powerful eye towards the Breton Kingdoms. Malgven must contrive with every skill she has ever learned to save these independent people from subjugation and assimilation.
Accompany three influential women who are caught amidst tides of ideology and witness common customs and practices we take for granted today take root in early seventh century superstitions. Experience the lines between the Christian and Pagan faiths slowly, purposely, merge and the position in society of our feminine Celtic ancestors methodically erode...
