Lutwinus Between the Sword and the Cross

Book One: The Age of the Count

A hundred men died for his legend. No one was ever meant to find out..

672, on the River Saar.: Count Lutwinus leaves a hundred of his own peasants to drown in a ford — and rides on. What survives in memory is a miracle. What actually happened was a massacre.

1076: A monk is ordered to cast the lie in gold. Instead, he carves the truth into the stone of the abbey itself — a confession meant to stay buried for nearly a thousand years.

2026: A single spade strike beneath the Old Tower in Mettlach breaks the grave open again. And with it, a blood debt that has stayed silent for a millennium. A historian who can’t stop digging, even as every new find pulls him closer to the edge. A priest who can no longer pray without seeing the dead. And an old man who has known what lies beneath the tower for almost fifty years — and will do anything to keep it there. Three ages. One massacre that was never forgiven. One truth that refuses to stay buried..For readers of historical conspiracy thrillers: a story about power, guilt, and how much truth a faith can survive before it breaks.

Dig deeper. Because some foundations were built on lies — and some lies still bleed.
