Publisher's summary

A harsh winter is coming. With it, a dark and pitiless magic…

Lukas wants only two things: to rebuild his castle home in time to make it through the coming winter and to reconnect with the sister who was stolen from him in a plot against his family.

But then an astrologer appears with foreboding news: his old adversary, Inquisitor Waldemar von Schönborn, has stolen three royal artifacts, which are required to coronate a new German emperor. With these valuable objects - the sword, the crown, and the scepter - he could blackmail the empire. The treasures are currently hidden in three different places in the old imperial city of Prague.

To protect his homeland and help him find the artifacts, Lukas will need his three best friends - all members of the elite fighting group known as the Black Musketeers. He’ll also need his feisty little sister, Elsa, whose magical gifts may be the key to stopping the inquisitor’s latest scheme.

They head for Prague immediately, but the adventure that awaits them there will put their courage and their friendship to the ultimate test.

The story is amazing!

I love Oliver Pötzsch and all his books, the guy who narrated the Hangman’s Daughter was fantastic. The guy who narrates this series is terrible. He has no intonation in his words and most of the time they just fall flat. He has lots of breathes through out the story and he quite often pauses in very odd places. I tried to listen to this story but it was just so bad I couldn’t so I read it instead.

Best for children

I don’t know if Pötzsch wrote this as a children’s story or not, but the audible version is clearly targeted for children. It’s a good story, but the childish performance leaves much to be desired.

Knights of Olde

Kind of mixture of Tolkien, Brother Cadfael and a Polish Camelot. If you enjoy that kind of thing, and I do, the book is great!

This series lived up to my expectations.

I am not ready for this 2 book story to end. I want to know if they survive the castle siege about to begin. I want to know what happens to his sister. As usual, Oliver has spun a captivating tale.
