Storm Front (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798330458158)

The year is 1618, and the Christian world stands, once again, on a knife's edge. The once great Holy Roman Empire, like most of the rest of Europe, is divided along religious, political, and economic lines - pitting Catholics against Protestants, princes against monarchs, and the rich against the poor.

And a war unlike anything Europe has ever seen is growing increasingly inevitable. Destined to be caught up in the coming conflict are two very beautiful but very different women. Lady Atlantis Vanessa von Storm song is the only child of a wealthy Catholic Archduke, while poor Sarlatova is a Protestant thief who knows practically nothing of her past. These two strangers share a strong faith in the same God, but their respective attempts to find peace in a world dominated by violent and powerful men will lead them straight into the abyss of a war that will tear Europe apart for the next thirty years.
