Synopsis

Verena, an American teenage girl, develops an obsession with Germany and with King Ludwig II of Bavaria, a German king who died mysteriously in 1886. Verena's pursuit of her obsession leads her to the discovery of a manuscript written by King Ludwig. It reveals Ludwig's secrets and those of an ancient enterprise to protect the Holy Grail. She learns about the Swan Knights, the direct line of descendants from the Grail Knight, Parsifal, and about a portal to the Grail's hiding place.

Ludwig's manuscript details the many heroic figures and fantastic creatures wrapped in the Grail's fate, including The Ancient One, a giant swan who has served as the custodian of the Grail secrets and as the teacher of the Swan Knights' children since the beginning. Many mysteries of German history and of Germanic legend are explained by the manuscript. Verena eventually discovers her own connection to the Grail and its stories, and the reason for the strange obsession.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Stefan Scheuermann was born in Louisiana. As a teenager, he moved to Colorado with his family. He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in History and his Master of Arts degree in Literature. He has taught English Research Composition at a local state university and has enjoyed a long career of performing and teaching ballet. Mr. Scheuermann blends his passions for history and literature in this historical fiction/fantasy. He continues to teach and perform ballet in a never-ending celebration of the human experience and the beauty of our species and its stories. Mr. Scheuermann's writing projects have spanned multiple genres, from linguistic comparison to literary history, from biography to fiction. His wish for this book is that it will demonstrate the fantastical nature of real human lives and show how thin the line can be between history and fantasy.
