Emma's journey

Finally, peace reigns. The great war lasted for thirty long years. In Hamburg, an island of safety, people had been spared from the turmoil of the times. Now, in 1650, Emma van Haaren embarks on the long journey to Amsterdam. There, an inheritance must be divided. But in the Wildeshauser Geest, Emma's carriage is ambushed, and her traveling companion falls victim to murderers. With her son Valentin, Emma manages to escape at the last moment. An adventurous journey through a land that is both threatening and beautifully late-summer begins. And both know exactly: they need each other if they want to survive. Emma and Valentin encounter friends and foes, endure hunger and thirst, and leave treacherous moors and dark forests behind. But the eerie riders from the Wildeshauser Geest have not given up. What secret surrounds Valentin? Europe shortly after the Thirty Years' War.
