Strasburg, Germany
The revolutions of 1848 are on the horizon.
Europe is breaking up from within, each piece tugging away from the other.
And the fate of one boy is intricately bound up in those turbulent events.
Philbert was born with a monstrous deformity on his skull, and was quickly spurned by his mother.
Abandoned and alone, he is adopted by a wandering Friar, and he feels at home with the other cast-off spirits.
But his sense of peace is quickly shattered as Germany starts to fall apart.
With taxes increasing, and food sparse, starving peasants are barricading the towns and storming the storehouses of the rich.
And after sheltering a runaway widow, Philbert and his gang are stormed by the soldiers.
But that is just the beginning.
Unknown to Philbert he is to be the trigger for the coming revolution...
But will his actions be for good, or evil?
And will Philbert manage to survive as everything he knows is torn apart?
'Things Fall Apart' is a gripping historical mystery.
