More about the book
Peace. This is what Lorenz List seeks, peace for a troubled conscience and an unfulfilled longing. But the peace eludes him until he meets Frater Martin, a scholar of the small, insignificant university of Wittenberg in Saxony. Martin's strange new teaching speaks peace to Lorenz-or does it? For Lorenz soon discovers that this same teaching unsheathes a sword that strikes at the peace of the Church, state, and his own soul. A member of Frater Martin's inner circle, Lorenz experiences the hope and terror that stirs Germany but finally shakes her to her foundations. This volume, The Overthrow, continues the story Lorenz List and "Else" begun in the The Vow, Part I of A Song for Else. As he emerges from the dramatic "heroic years" of the German Reformation movement and their climax, the bloody Peasants' War of 1525, will Lorenz find the peace and happiness that have so long eluded him?
