#1 Anvil of God
It is 741. Only one thing stands between Charles the Hammer (Charles Martel) and the throne—he’s dying. Despite his best efforts, the only thing to reign after Charles’s death is chaos. Son battles son, Christianity battles paganism, and Charles’s daughter flees his court for an enemy’s love.
Charles cobbles together a plan to divide the kingdom among his three sons, betroth his daughter to a Lombard prince to secure his southern border, and keep the Church unified behind them through his friend Bishop Boniface. Despite his best efforts, the only thing to reign after Charles’s death is chaos. His daughter has no intention of marrying anyone, let alone a Lombard prince. His two eldest sons question the rights of their younger pagan stepbrother, and the Church demands a steep price for their support. Son battles son, Christianity battles paganism, and Charles’s daughter flees his court for an enemy’s love.
(15 hours and 30 minutes)
#2 Wheel of the Fates
It is 742. The throne is empty; the pagan states are in rebellion, Charles Martel’s widow and youngest son have been imprisoned, and trust between Carloman and Pippin—the two brothers who remain in power—has been shattered. Making matters worse, the Church is secretly conspiring to place a Merovingian on the throne and Charles’ daughter Hiltrude has wed the leader of the rebellion—giving him the legitimacy of Charles’ legacy.
(13 hours and 56 minutes)
#3 Crown of a King
It’s 745. The kingdom is split between the two eldest sons of Charles Martel. Carloman, the oldest, has the support of the king and the church, while Pippin refuses to bend the knee. Civil war is imminent.Making matters worse, Pippin’s relationship with Bertrada, the great love of his life, is no less complicated, forcing him to reevaluate the moral implications of his rule. Just as he believes he’s found a way forward, Carloman’s campaign in Alemannia upends the peace, putting the future of Pippin’s relationship–and the kingdom–in jeopardy.
