Synopsis
Almost twenty years after the threat to the Habsburg empire by the barely human creature known as the Golem, a new disaster looms on the horizon that both Church and Emperor view as the coming Armageddon. Once again, the prophecy of Nostradamus predicts that only a union of three men that the Empire has branded as outcasts can save the lands under Austro-Hungarian rule from impending doom. One, a false prophet, the second a heretic priest, and the third being a king without a kingdom, only if these three find a way to unite their unique talents and God-given gifts will society and history as we know it survive. Against the backdrop of myths and legends that has terrified the villagers of Transylvania for centuries, they must find the strength within themselves so that when they unite, they will become the Trinity. How can they stop the beast that has already taken the lives of several hundred young peasant girls over several decades, only to begin stalking the daughters of the aristocracy. The blood drained bodies of its victims raise fears that the Upiri, the vampires or undead as they were known, are once again ruling the night. But others lay claim to seeing the Varcolac in the forests, the wolves who walk like men, stalking the young children that foolishly venture into the woods once the sun has set. This is not a work of fiction, but instead a detailed report of events that transpired between the years of 1593 and 1610, when in desperation the Archduke Maximillian had to seek out the three men that could rescue civilization from the onslaught of evil. The events, people, victims and crimes are all real, all having existed, and only proves that the legends passed down to us were merely history waiting to be discovered. Nostradamus provided the clues, it took three heroes to decipher them.
About the Author
Dr. Allen E. Goldenthal grew up in Toronto Canada, later moving to New Zealand. He now splits his time between his work in Asia, with a home in Zhuhai China, and his residence in the beautiful Northland of New Zealand. A former CEO of several companies in the biopharamaceutical industry and senior lecturer at two universities, he spends his leisure time hiking, exploring and writing his series of historical novels known as the Kahana Chronicles. Each book tells the tale of how one family influenced the past repeatedly over hundreds of years but did so from the shadows, hidden from the public scrutiny of history as it is taught in our schools. Researching the unique history of the Kahana is more than a passion of the author, it is a revelation of his legacy, for he is a descendant of the Kahana.
