The Obsidian Cross Series
The destiny of a nation awaits
This unique historical fiction takes place in the European medieval period of the mid to late 1400's. The country of Livonia was torn asunder by war and the Teutonic Order under the control of Pope Martin infiltrated this Baltic state, destroying the country as a whole while replacing its once great nation with the establishments of his own bishoprics (ruling provinces under the guidance of local ruling bishops). The wealthy merchants who joined the governing hand of the bishoprics helped form a ruling class, selfish in intent, and, thus suppressing the commoner.
The ideal of Christianity being spread by Pope Martin's crusades failed. The grand idea faded as a second thought. Power and greed overtook those in authority, tainting their minds with ideas of wealth and expansion and placing God's word as an afterthought.
The Obsidian Cross follows Niklas, a dissident of the Order who sought a peaceful life until circumstances brought about an unforeseen adventure. Join this saga of epic proportions and see what happens when this noble knight follows his heart.
