Book Description
The year is 800 ad, set deep in the Serbian landscape along the Danube River near the city of Singidunum (Belgrade). The Vetus Castrum Abby had taken custody of an orphanage for wayward girls under the guidance of Father Tiberius and Father Ezra. Deborah was the oldest of some 280 orphans, conscripted out to various farms, markets and limestone quarries in the area. Hard work represented Catholic penance for getting into heaven, where punishment cleansed the soul of evil. What we know of Europe 400 years after the fall of the Roman Empire, Charlemagne was fighting an uphill battle in putting Francia, Germania, Gaul and Mesopotamia back together again. Deborah and the other orphans had to endure agonizing feudalism, tyrannical aristocracy, foreign soldiers and unwanted pregnancies. In our time in school, we were taught that the era after Rome's demise represented the Dark Ages, where superstition, witches and carnivorous ogres ruled everyday Europe. Yet Deborah's tenacity taught her to overcome all adversity, because there is power in the spirit. Then Deborah found something that would change her life forever. I tried to make this as historically accurate as possible, with superstitious anxiety confronting everyday peasants. I found it disturbing that what Deborah had to contend with, we still have to content with in 2022.
