For readers of historical fiction seeking a female protagonist challenging medieval conventions, with doses of intrigue and adventure.
Manfred Böckl was a German writer who specialised in historical fiction. From the 1980s, he wrote novels that often revolve around Bavaria, crime, abuse of power and historical renegades and seers. He had a local breakthrough in 1991 with a novel about the Bavarian prophet Mühlhiasl. A recurring subject in Böckl's works was Celtic culture, and he practiced Celtic neopaganism.
