In the novel “The Shadow of Power,” the story takes us to the Netherlands of the late 16th century. The Dutch bourgeois revolution rages at full speed; Duke Alba, the Inquisition, and Spanish soldiers are ruthless. At this time, the Spanish viceroy of Gertrudenberg, Count Haim de Horaver, saves the beautiful Marion de Bregol from the flames of the Inquisition—she has been accused of serving the devil and black magic. His struggle against the Inquisitors and his love lead him to the side of Spain’s enemies, where, under the name of Count Van Stinenn, he becomes a popular commander of Prince William of Orange. The novel is packed with the most incredible adventures, wars, intrigues, and love stories—everything that readers of adventurous historical literature love.
