She was a nun of noble birth. He, a heretic, a
reformer…an outlaw of the Holy Roman Empire.
In the 16th century, nun Katharina von Bora’s fate fell no
further than the Abbey. Until she read the writings of
Martin Luther.
His sweeping Catholic church reformation—condemning a
cloistered life and promoting the goodness of
marriage—awakened her desire for everything she’d 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 anyone’s 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 couldn’t be more different.
But as the world comes tumbling down around them, and with
Luther’s 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.
