She was a nun of noble birth. He, a heretic, a reformerโฆan outlaw of the Holy Roman Empire.
In the 16th century, nun Katharina von Boraโs fate fell no further than the Abbey. Until she read the writings of Martin Luther.
His sweeping Catholic church reformationโcondemning a cloistered life and promoting the goodness of marriageโawakened her desire for everything sheโd been forbidden. Including Martin Luther himself.
Despite the fact that the attraction and tension between them is undeniable, Luther holds fast to his convictions and remains isolated, refusing to risk anyoneโs life but his own. And Katharina longs for love, but is strong-willed. She clings proudly to her class distinction, pining for nobility over the heart of a reformer. They couldnโt be more different.
But as the world comes tumbling down around them, and with Lutherโs threatened life a constant strain, these unlikely allies forge an unexpected bond of understanding, support and love.
Together, they will alter the religious landscape forever.
