In The Heirs, Volume II of The Saxon Chronicle, author Jane Ellen Swan continues the gripping multigenerational saga begun in The Capitalists. Her readers are given a thrilling account of how real people, nobility and commoner, wealthy and poor, struggled with one of Germany's greatest catastrophes: the Thirty Years War. The history is factual, many of the characters actually existed, but most revealing are the emotions felt by people who saw their life's work disappear or felt their lives completely turned around -- if, indeed, they were fortunate enough to survive. In the eighteenth century, the lives of two new families are intertwined with those of the Heirs. Dragoons Lindemann and Matthies take part in all the wars of the time, including the famous Battle of Blenheim, accompany the first Hannoverian kings to England, and revel in the sublime music of Bach and Handel, and the Age of Enlightenment. The Heirs is written in the finest tradition of historical fiction, bringing to life long-gone times.
