J. Boyce, Gleason. Carolingian Chronicles. #bk. 2

Read by Deborah Balm

It is 742. The throne is empty; the pagan states are in rebellion, Charles Martel's widow and youngest son have been imprisoned, and trust between Carloman and Pippin-the two brothers who remain in power-has been shattered. Making matters worse, the Church is secretly conspiring to place a Merovingian on the throne and Charles' daughter Hiltrude has wed the leader of the rebellion-giving him the legitimacy of Charles' legacy. Based on a true story, Wheel of the Fates picks up where the award-winning Anvil of God leaves off-chronicling the lives of Charles Martel's children as they vie for power in what's left of the kingdom...and their family
