Bzzagent: Dark Monk Campaign!



Hey guys,
It's time for a new bzz campaign for anotherBzzagent campaign. This time I was selected to participate in the e-book campaign for the Dark Monk book. This particular campaign come with both e-books from Oliver Pötzsch. The first book in the series is The Hangman's Daughter.
The story is in Germany, 1660: When a dying boy is pulled from the river with a mark crudely tattooed on his shoulder, hangman Jakob Kuisl - whose wisdom and empathy are as unusual as his despised profession - is called upon to investigate whether witchcraft is at play.
Magdalena, the hangman's clever and headstrong daughter, is destined to be married off to another hangman's son — except that the town physician's son is hopelessly in love with her. After the gruesomely injured boy is pulled from the river, the villagers suspect local midwife Martha Stechlin. Jakob Kuisl is charged with extracting a confession and torturing her until he gets one. Convinced she is innocent, he, Magdalena, and her would-be suitor to race against the clock to find the true killer.
The second book is about the Dark Monk: A Hangman's Daughter Tale.
The story takes place when the winter has settled thick over a sleepy village in the Bavarian Alps, ensuring every farmer and servant is indoors the night a parish priest discovers he's been poisoned. As numbness creeps up his body, he summons the last of his strength to scratch a cryptic sign in the frost. Click here to learn more!
Hangman Jakob Kuisl, his daughter Magdalena and the town physician's son team up again - this time with the priest's aristocratic sister - to investigate a trail of riddles. What they uncover will lead them back to the Crusades, unlocking a troubled history of internal church politics and sending them on a chase for a treasure of the Knights Templar. But they're not the only ones after the legendary fortune. A team of dangerous and mysterious monks is always close behind, tracking their every move.
The author is Oliver Pötzsch, born in 1970, has worked for years as a screenwriter for Bavarian television. He himself is a descendant of the Kuisls, one of Bavaria's leading dynasties of executioners.
