The Deadly Legacy of Rothenburg Castle

De: Michael Stolle

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

A Murdered Heir. A Ruthless Rivalry. A Twisted Crime in 17th-Century Germany.

The death of Otto von Rothenburg should have been a tragic accident. But when his frozen body is pulled from the ice, bearing unmistakable signs of foul play, whispers of treachery ripple through the halls of Rothenburg Castle.

With no direct heir, Count Gustav must name a successor—but power is never freely given. Two young nobles, Jakob von Enkirch and Benno von Thalheim, arrive at the castle, both eager to stake their claim. One will rise, the other will fall... unless they outwit each other first.

But Rothenburg Castle holds more than power struggles and noble ambition. As secrets unravel and unexpected alliances form, a hidden enemy lurks in the shadows, determined to silence the truth—preferably with a well-placed dagger.

And in the middle of it all, Clara von Rothenburg, the count’s strong-willed daughter, has no interest in politics—until she finds herself caught in a game of wits and charm with Benjamin von Enkirch, the dangerously clever younger brother of a would-be heir.
