Twelve Children of Paris

Paris, August 23rd, 1572. What do you do when your wife disappears...In the middle of the bloodiest massacre in European history...And you know she is about to give birth to your only child? Three wars of religion have turned Paris into a foetid cauldron of hatred, intrigue and corruption. The Royal Wedding, intended to heal the wounds, has served only to further poison the fanatics of either creed. But Carla could not have known that when she accepted an invitation to the ceremony. When Mattias Tannhauser rides into town, on Saint Bartholomew's Eve, his only intention is to find her and take her home. But as the massacre of tens of thousands of Huguenots begins, and the city plunges into anarchy, Carla is abducted by Grymonde, the grotesque gang leader of the Yards, and Tannhauser finds himself imprisoned in the Louvre, at the centre of a vicious conspiracy. Wanted by the law, the assassins' guild, and a militant army who call themselves the Pilgrims of Saint-Jacques, Tannhauser must rise to pitiless extremes even he has never known before. With no one to help him but a stable boy, he wades a river of blood without knowing what lies on the other side. As he harrows Hell in search of his beloved. His destiny is changed forever byThe Twelve Children Of Paris...

  • "Die Nacht von Paris Mattias Tannhäuser, ein deutscher Johanniter, macht sich nach Paris auf. Er sucht Carla, seine Frau. Dabei ist er in grösster Sorge. Carla ist schwanger. Bei der Hochzeit zwischen Marguerite, der Tochter der Königin, und dem Hugenotten Henri, die vom französischen Königshaus arrangiert worden ist, um den Konflikt zwischen Protestanten und Katholiken zu befrieden, soll sie die Gambe spielen. Paris ist in Aufruhr. Überall gibt es Streitigkeiten und Kämpfe. Tannhäuser wird wegen seines Johanniterkreuzes häufig angefeindet und gerät schnell zwischen die Fronten. Hugenotten werden drangsaliert und schlagen zurück. Es ist die Bartholomäusnacht. Im königlichen Palast sucht Tannhäuser nach Carla. Doch sie, so hört er, soll sich bei einem Kaufmann aufhalten, der zu den Hugenotten gehört - und damit in grösster Gefahr befinden. Für Tannhäuser beginnt eine wilde Jagd durch die Stadt - an seiner Seite nur ein paar Kinder, die in den Wirren unterzugehen drohen. Ein hochspannendes Epos über Glauben und Krieg - und die Macht der Liebe. 'Willocks erzählt packend und zutiefst bewegend.' Tanja Kinkel Tim Willocks hat mehrere erfolgreiche Thriller geschrieben, bevor er sich dem historischen Roman zuwandte. Er lebt in Irland. Bei Aufbau Taschenbuch und Rütten Loening lieferbar - die beiden Romane um Mattias Tannhäuser: 'Das Sakrament' und 'Die Blutnacht'. Mehr zum Autor unter: www.timwillocks.com."
