Forging the Blade: When the Student is Ready, the Magus Arrives

In AD 348, the Goths are living between the Roman-controlled Danube and the Black Sea. In their midst are three individuals who will live forever in European literature. Thulia the Bad Girl--yet the Proclaimer knows who she will become. Fritigern the Fisher--destined to save his people from the Shadow of Death. Merjands the Mystic--walking from Asia to Gothia to complete a transmigration. A woman of courageous spirit, a man who rides above war, and a teacher cursed to be forever old. From the author of The Demon's Door Bolt, a unique and new take on the Arthurian Legend. A historical fancy based upon actual events: the first persecution of Christians beyond Rome's borders.
