Sword and Crown - Heart of Stone

Barbarossa believes himself to be at the zenith of his power. He was crowned emperor, courted by kings, and even took on the pope. But with the young son of King Conrad, a rival for the throne grows up, and princes by the dozen once again go into opposition against his immoderate friend and cousin Henry the Lion. Above all, Frederick urgently needs an heir - but this happiness remains denied to him and his beloved Beatrix for years. A concern that also weighs on the Meissen Margrave Otto and his young wife Hedwig, who send out recruiters to bring settlers to their land. Knight Christian also takes on this dangerous task ... Gabriele Blum is a gifted audiobook interpreter and with her warm, full voice has already impressively staged the intrigues at court and the trial of strength on the battlefields in the first three volumes.
