The Ring and the Cross

As barbarian hordes storm once-civilized lands ordinary people must rescue what they can of morality and faith building a Christian Age on the bits and pieces of the past. Based on real people and events in sixth-century France when Christian Europe was forming on the ruins of the Roman Empire The Ring and the Cross mingles history fiction and religion. The poet Fortunatus begins as a playboy and ends as the saintly bishop of Poitiers under the spiritual guidance of his beloved St. Radegund. Queen Brunhild marries a doomed prince and avenges his murder against the counsel of St. Radegund. This is the story that inspired Wagners Brunhilde and shines light on our own times today.
