Bayern ist zwischen den drei Wittelsbacher Linien Ingolstadt, München und Straubing aufgeteilt. Immer wieder führen sie Auseinandersetzungen um die Vorherrschaft im Lande. Die Bewohner der kleinen Stadt Aichach, einer wichtigen Festung im Herrschaftsbereich des Ingolstädter Herzogs "Ludwig im Barte", leben in Ruhe und bescheidenem Wohlstand, bis ein unheimliches Ereignis den Frieden stört.Ein durch den Gerbprozess zur Unkenntlichkeit verändertes Wesen wird in einer der Gerbgruben des Rotgerbers Caspar Ertl gefunden. Auf der Gerberfamilie Ertl lastet der Verdacht mit teuflischen Mächten im Bunde zu sein - ein künstliches Wesen, einen Homunculus erschaffen zu haben. Die weltliche Obrigkeit fürchtet, in eine groß angelegte Hexenjagd verwickelt zu werden, und beauftragt den Büttel Ludwig Kroiß und den Badermeister Simon Schenk damit, die Geheimnisse um den Gerberhof zu lüften. Die Ermittlungen führen sie in einer aufregenden Jagd, die in Aichach ihren Ausgang nimmt, durch das Wittelsbacher Land, Augsburg und dessen schwäbisches Umland.

The most empowered person on earth is the one who knows the truth and lives according to it. Thus Dr. Michael Peters introduces readers to Empowered to Change: How Truth Can Transform You, his gift to everyone desiring a reasoned and enlightening examination of the nature of truth, particularly through the teachings of classic Christianity as it applies to modern thought, and how embracing truth provides us with the strength to change our lives. In today's fast-paced and confrontational society, we often lose a sense of our beliefs until, overwhelmed by media and day-to-day pressures, the truth becomes lost in the chaos. In the author's unbiased and clear-cut analysis, we learn that truth is the center of Christian thought and practice and that morality, judgment, and fulfillment emanate from understanding and living by these classic truths. Dr. Peters helps readers to appreciate that only through comprehending the will of God can we truly understand how we are expected to live.
