Broken Bonds: A Novel of the Reformation Volume 1

The Church is fracturing, revolution is brewing, and society is changing rapidly. Three authors who shaped this new world with their pens--Martin Luther, Desiderius Erasmus, and Philipp Melanchthon--will now be shaped by it in turn. When the pope and King Henry VIII of England pressure Erasmus to take a public stand against Luther, both authors will be forced to wrestle with literal and figurative demons. Erasmus is haunted by his illegitimate birth. Luther struggles with the rejection of the Church and his own father. Melanchthon, Luther's associate and a long-time admirer of Erasmus, is increasingly caught in the middle, forced to choose between two men he venerates or be torn asunder. The three men's lives and fears are woven together as events spiral out of their collective control.
