The Dark Side of the Fylfot

The Story

14th Century Saxony...

A Family
A Plague
A Legend in the Making



Gretl von Hasenbach is a child when the Great Mortality strikes Brunswick and not all her grandfather Sano’s learning can protect the family from tragedy. And when Gretl becomes a victim of the bitter and lustful Akhtar, Sano must confront the past and his own guilt to heal her hurt.
The Black Death returns. Gretl and Lou, her father, are determined to discover the cause and find a cure. To do that, they must confront ignorance, superstition and religious dogma. Not only that: casting his still-malevolent gaze on the family is Akhtar, intent on pursuing his mad, perverted ambitions.
But who is Akhtar, and what is the origin of the strange power he wields over people? Will Gretl learn too late that all magic is in the mind?

The Dark Side of the Fylfot

Historical Background

The Black Death killed between 30% and 40% of the population of Europe. What is less well known is that there were pockets across the continent that escaped its deadly consequences.
While Europe’s population languished in the Dark Ages, held down by the power of the clergy and obsessed by magic and demons, to the East, in Asia, scientific thought was not stifled and medical knowledge was advanced beyond the imagination of even the noblest families of the German Empire.
This novel explores the possibilities.
