Nor Hell A Fury

What frosts, floods, and the flux don't fell are swept away when armies cross the land every summer. Romans are gone. New masters claim crumbling cities they cannot maintain, valuing only the walls behind which they shelter from their kin, contriving alliances intended to be broken. Two queens perch in the midst of this chaos, at first supporting their own husbands, later striving to kill each other, finally striking out against any who might threaten their positions. It is not some medieval morality play. It is not some Game of Thrones. It is sixth century France, it is history, and it is hell. Nor Hell A Fury melds fiction with fact to examine the outrageous characters at the bloody beginnings of modern Europe.
