About this listen
In the blood-soaked chaos of the Thirty Years’ War (1618–1648), Klaus Vogel, a Franconian pikeman, fights not for glory or faith, but for the survival of his wife, Anna, and son, Lukas. Thrust into the brutal world of mercenary life, Klaus wields his pike through ravaged villages, musket volleys, and the horrors of sieges like Magdeburg’s infamous sack. Each battle scars his body and soul, from the fog-shrouded fields of Lützen to the desperate defense of a refugee camp, as he grapples with the cost of survival and the vow to protect his family.
Iron and Ash is a gripping historical novel that plunges listeners into the savage heart of Europe’s deadliest conflict. Through Klaus’s eyes, witness the clash of pikes, the betrayal of allies, and the unyielding hope that drives a man through hell. Perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell and Ken Follett, this tale of loyalty, loss, and redemption captures the raw humanity of a war that reshaped a continent.
Join Klaus on his odyssey through a world of iron and ash, where every step toward peace is paid in blood.
