If you enjoy historical fiction with rich characters, mythic elements, and a powerful sense of time and place, The Black Bow might be a compelling addition to your TBR list.
Erich, a German Protestant soldier during the Thirty Years' War, rescues Mara, an accused witch, from torture and execution by burning. As they travel across a war-torn landscape towards the convent where she was raised, founded centuries earlier by Hildegard of Bingen, they are joined by outcasts and survivors, each playing a part in this grand story of faith, fear, and survival.
Klaus is the leader of the local Catholic League, who zealously enforces the growing power of the Catholics against the Protestants in the region. He tracks Erich after the initial escape but fails to capture him, then vows to continue the pursuit because of a long-standing personal hatred and their religious and class differences.
The Black Bow features a large cast of characters and explores various aspects of the long and brutal conflict between Protestant and Catholic forces. This was a terrible time to live through for many Europeans, especially those in the German principalities. Countless lives were lost on the battlefields and in the countryside due to plundering troops from both sides of the conflict. It was also a time when witchcraft persecution was near its peak, which heightened the climate of fear and repression in many societies.
The Black Bow is an object drawn from German myth and legend. It grants degrees of power to those who summon it, much of which comes from a deep connection to ancestry and the natural world.
