Clovis, King of the Franks is the third tale collected in Medieval Tales from the Bard Iron-Tongue: Adventure, Battle, and Conversion. Each story transports the reader into the early Middle Ages, telling a unique and intriguing tale of Germanic tribal wars, personal ambitions, and evolving cultural and religious world-views. Medieval Tales from the Bard Iron-Tongue: Adventure, Battle, and Conversion stands in the tradition of works like Beowulf and the Icelandic Sagas or modern novels such as Bernard Cornwell's The Saxon Tales, Stephen Lawhead's Byzantium, and Gile Kristian's Blood Eye. In Clovis, King of the Franks, Clovis battles his wife's attempt to convert him to the Roman faith. When Clovis finds his forces outnumbered and imperiled on the battlefield, he turns to his gods for help. Their silence forces Clovis to make a desperate decision. Will he survive the slaughter? This story tells the tale. If you enjoy Clovis, King of the Franks, then the remaining stories (Radbod, King of Frisia, Harald Bluetooth, King of the Danes, Widukind, Lord of the Saxons, and the Life and Death of the Bard Iron-Tongue) will be of interest to you. The entire collection of tales is available in paperback, and the individual stories can be downloaded as ebooks.
