Overview

Isabella, Princess of Poland, is raised to a life of great wealth and leisure in the Polish Royal Court, destined to marry a king. But fate or divine providence intervenes when she meets Johan Hirschberg, a young Anabaptist who works in her father's stable. This chance meeting leads the young couple into a forbidden love. Together they flee Poland and embark on a dangerous journey that brings them, after great peril, to the small parish of a troubled priest named Menno Simons. Catholic Bishop, Franz von Waldek, paid by King Sigismund, Isabella's father to find the princess at all costs, pursues them across Europe. Isabella does not know it, but if von Waldek captures her, she will have to make a choice that will change the course of European history forever.

I couldn't wait to read this book. Then I absolutely could not put it down till I finished every page. This book is set in the times of great religious reformation so it was right up this German/Polish genealogist's alley. There was lots of research needed to create a book of this type. That was clear and the events were exciting and heartbreaking at the same time. The storyline flowed well and the characters easily became alive as they interacted and reacted to the times of their days. I could actually ""see"" what they saw and experienced. Just like being there. I highly recommend this excellent book interwoven into a time of strong religious discontent and intolerance. A must read!
