"In the year 1635, the Rhineland is in turmoil. The impact of the Ring of Fire which transported the small modern West Virginia town of Grantville to Europe has only aggravated the situation. Archbishop Ferdinand of Cologne shares the religious fanaticism of his older brother, Duke Maximilian of Bavaria. He is determined to restore the power of the Catholic Church over the middle Rhine. But that is the same territory which Landgrave William V of Hesse-Kassel wants for himself, under the guise of expanding the influence of the United States of Europe. Add to the witches brew the death of Duke Wolfgang of Julich-Berg and his son, which leaves his young pregnant widow Katharina Charlotte as the heir to those much prized territories. The wars for the Rhine have erupted, and only the devil knows how they will end."-- Provided by publisher.
