Popes, emperors, and kings rule the world. A young boy defies his family and begins his trek to carve the way into his future. This is a story of Ferdinand and Isabella and their quest for a new world, of the ill-fated love of Maximilian I and Mare of Burgundy, of young Martin Luther running from his devils and demons, and of young Dyl – Tilman Riemenschneider – who becomes one of the foremost sculptors of the late German Middle Ages.
