About this book

A sheltered town in the Thuringian Forest loses its protection when Count Tilly dies in the spring of 1632. His niece, Countess Rotha of Heritzburg, has inherited a community whose quiet life depends on both its remote position and its powerful family connection. The loyal narrator describes how a Calvinist town has accepted the security offered by a Catholic commander, even as nearby victories stir fresh loyalties during the Thirty Years' War.

Stanley John Weyman tells this historical romance through a servant's close attention to his lady and the people around her. Later, in an army camp, he gathers Heritzburg men to protect the countess as a disturbance spreads among the soldiers. An unarmed general restores order by confronting the crowd. These scenes give readers a story of local allegiance, religious division and the uneasy power of military leaders over civilian lives.
