The Prussian Soldier

By Tony Poninghaus

In the summer of 1809, Wilhelm moves with his musketeer company south from Driesen, where he first meets Margaret Christine in the household of the Guild Master of M ncheberg - a man far more powerful than first perceived. Margaret Christine stirs his heart's passions. An encounter with Charlotte creates conflicts within the house. Testing his beliefs, he journeys from M ncheberg to Berlin, where he finds himself transferred to a cavalry regiment barracked at Dorotheenstadt. Margaret Christine's feelings are confused. Charlotte struggles with her torment. A chance meeting has Mademoiselle Virginie Christiane Beaudoin, a French courtesan, and companion of Cardinal Jean Pierre Lauren, quickly redefining life's pathways. Love, conflicts, and tragedy twist and weave the impossible. Wilhelm struggles with his love for a woman and his loyalty to those who demand the ultimate commitment and sacrifice. But then, as nations prepare for war, nothing is ever set permanently in time, the story pushing south into Silesia, where the French occupation, Napoleon's appetite and the manoeuvring of the Russian Tsar provide an enmeshing backdrop for romance, betrayal and retribution.Part One of the story - Love and Vengeance.
