1662: Jakob Kuisl, the hangman of the village in the Alps, gets a letter from his sister calling him to the imperial city of Regensburg, in which a gruesome look awaits him: her neck has been slit. When the city constable discovers Kuisl alongside the corpse, he locks him in a dungeon, where Kuisl will experience firsthand the torture he's administered himself for a long time. As nightmares assail him, Kuisl can only just hope to prevail on the Regensburg executioner to show mercy to a fellow hangman. Kuisl's steely little girl, Magdalena, and her young doctor paramour, Simon, hurry to Regensburg to try to save Jakob, enlisting an underground network of beggars, a beer-brewing monk, and an Italian playboy for help. Navigating the labyrinthine city, they learn there is a lot more behind the incorrect accusation than a personal vendetta: an idea that will endanger the entire German Empire. Chock-full of amazing historical fine detail, The Beggar Ruler brings to radiant life another huge tale of any unlikely hangman and his tough-as-nails little girl, confirming Pötzsch's mettle as a storyteller at the height of his capabilities.
