Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In this gripping historical novel, pagan Duke Mieszko I of the Polans converts to Christianity to wed Dobrawa, daughter of Czech Boleslav I, forging a vital alliance against threats by Saxony and the Empire. Set in 10th-C Europe, the story blends political intrigue, spiritual conflict, and supernatural tension. Mieszko's decision-demanded by Dobrawa and negotiated thru envoys-avoids Emperor Otto I's attempt at dominance while gaining legitimacy. Dobrawa's faith drives the terms: public baptism or no marriage. Shaman Mscislaw fiercely opposes the shift from Mt. Sleza, increasingly corrupted by Veles, who offers dark power to preserve the old ways. Winter brings Mieszko's Easter decision and relocation to Ostrow Lednicki. The baptism occurs despite Mscislaw's failed supernatural disruption. Seeds of conversion take root thru Dobrawa's gentle influence, while pagan resistance hardens.Freshly Christian Poland faces immediate resistance and external peril. Mscislaw retreats to Mt. Sleza, fortifying it as a pagan stronghold. Dobrawa builds a Christian household thru charity and example. Mieszko establishes Christian governance-curtailing feuds but provoking nobles. Fr. Jordan secures an independent bishopric from Rome, thwarting imperial control and enraging Otto I. Pagan elites withdraw to the country, forming shadow networks. Mscislaw strengthens Sleza, while Veles spreads corruption via doubt and excess. Tensions rise until Mieszko marches on Sleza. Amid a brutal ascent and supernatural clash with Veles, Mieszko's forces seize the summit; Mscislaw flees unconverted, his influence lingering. Rebuilding follows: churches, literacy, and law take root, though syncretism persists. Dobrawa's patient evangelization grows. Mscislaw grapples with doubt after human endurance trumps divine signs. Saxon threat escalates under Margrave Odo; Veles exploits fear via Mscislaw. Christian unity strains but holds. At Cedynia (972), Polans repel a Saxon invasion thru discipline and terrain. Victory unites Christians and pagans in national pride, transcending divides and weakening Veles' hold on Mscislaw.Victory solidifies Mieszko's rule, enabling deeper Christianization. Dobrawa's influence expands thru works of mercy and women's networks, softening resistance. Mieszko enforces law uniformly, curbing noble autonomy while granting lands to the church. Pagan holdouts dwindle in rural pockets, some blending rites quietly. Mscislaw, isolated and conflicted, witnesses the old powers' irrelevance; Veles' corruption backfires, alienating followers. Dobrawa's health declines amid tireless labor; her final days emphasize love over force. Upon her death (977), grief unites factions-Mieszko mourns deeply, nobles honor her legacy. Her passing secures Christianity's emotional hold, as heir Boleslaw grows under mixed tutors. Mieszko consolidates borders, negotiates with Czechia and the Holy Roman Empire. Paganism fades from public life; transformation completes thru structure, grief, and quiet acceptance, cementing Poland's Christian identity.Mieszko's mature reign brings stability and expansion. Christian infrastructure matures-a bishopric, monasteries, churches. Boleslaw trains as the heir, blending warrior ethos with faith. Internal peace prevails; former pagans integrate, some become clergy. Mscislaw, aged and reflective, confronts his life's futility-Veles' promises hollow. Mieszko, aging, focuses on legacy: alliances, church patronage, and succession. Final years emphasize peace thru faith. In 992, weakened by illness, Mieszko dies peacefully, entrusting Poland to Boleslaw.
