Summary

"In the Fire of the Forge: A Romance of Old Nuremberg — Volume 02" by Georg Ebers is a historical romance that drops you into olden times, where love and duty collide in a story about Eva and Heinz Schorlin. As Eva dreams of Heinz and a meaningful future together—hoping he will use his power for good—she juggles her feelings with worries about her sick mother and what her family expects. When Eva tells her aunt Kunigunde about her love for Heinz, she gets support to follow her heart. On his side, Heinz is taken by Eva’s kindness and wants to prove himself worthy of her love. The book teases a complicated relationship between Eva and Heinz. The story grows when adding characters like Wolff Eysvogel who is promised to Eva, and the rigid rules of romance in their society press down on their budding affection.
