THE MARSCHER LORDS:Brotherhood or Death

THE MARSCHER LORDS:Brotherhood or Death is the story of two brothers caught in the maelstrom of the Barbarian Invasions of Europe during the 13th Century. Maxim von Marscher and his adopted brother Petrus meet for the first time in several years. Maxim – as a member of the Teutonic Order – has been away at war while Petrus has expanded his Nobility in the land of his brothers birth, becoming a very high, respected, and influential Lord. Maxim informs his brother that the Barbarian Hordes quickly approach and that haste must be made to get the innocent and women and children out of harm’s way; not to do so is tantamount to a death sentence. However Petrus’s main concern is that of the landed estates and their contents and how best to secure their property from the advancing enemy. The two brothers – hitherto very close – quickly find themselves at an impasse as precious time ticks away.
