For the first time since its original publication in 1895, one of Guido von List's most important fictional works is now available in English. Set in the 3rd century amid the strife between a declining Rome and the ascendant Germanic tribes, Pipara tells the story of a Marcomanni princess who won the heart of a Roman emperor to become the first empress of Germanic blood, and so changed the course of history forever. This is book one of a two-part series.
