It is 741. Only one thing stands between Charles the Hammer 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.
Based on a true story, Anvil of God is a whirlwind of love, honor, sacrifice, and betrayal that follows a bereaved family’s relentless quest for power and destiny.
