About this audiobook
It is 742. The throne is empty; the pagan states are in rebellion; Charles Martel's widow and youngest son have been imprisoned and trust between Carloman and Pippin - the two brothers who remain in power - has been shattered. Making matters worse, the Church is secretly conspiring to place a Merovingian on the throne and Charles's daughter Hiltrude has wed the leader of the rebellion - giving him the legitimacy of Charles's legacy.
Based on a true story, Wheel of the Fates picks up where the award-winning Anvil of God leaves off - chronicling the lives of Charles Martel's children as they vie for power in what's left of the kingdom...and their family.
