"The Epic of Argau: The Biography of Werner, Son of the Wolf Star" is a magnificent historical fantasy epic. It is a family biography rather than a personal biography. The story begins in the harsh winter of 1069, when a young Count Werner von Allgäu regains his inheritance in blood and fire, and is prophesied to be the "Son of the Wolf Star". Faced with imperial oppression, clerical strife, and internal conspiracies, he used his sword as his pen and his will as his ink to write a legend of defending freedom.
He smashed the false edicts of the empire, drank poisonous wine to clarify his ambition, smelted meteorites and forged swords, and created an alliance of free nobles at the foot of the Alps. Join forces with Constance of Burgundy, from political marriage to soul mate, to jointly lay the foundation of the federation. The whole book runs through the collision of cold swords and fiery ideals, integrating astrological omens, political intrigues and cold weapon wars, and delicately depicts the magnificent journey from the survival of the family to the birth of the country.
This is not only a personal heroic epic, but also the birth history of a political entity. Werner founded an intelligence network, a scientific laboratory and a free library, and finally used the Federal Charter to create the prototype of the Swiss Federation, explaining the true meaning of freedom, which requires not only the sword to defend, but also the system and wisdom to nourish it. It is suitable for readers who love the machinations of "A Song of Ice and Fire" and the historical depth of "Wolf Hall" to witness how mortals use their will to break the shackles of power and create the cornerstone of freedom for all ages.
