From #1 New York Times bestselling author Barbara
Taylor Bradford comes the first book in a stunning new
historical saga.
Victorian England is a country of sharp divides between rich
and poor, but James Lionel Falconer, who spends his days
working at his father’s market stall, is determined to
become a merchant prince. Even as a child, he is everything
a self-made man should be: handsome, ambitious, charming,
and brimming with self-confidence. James quickly rises
through the ranks, proving himself both hardworking and
trustworthy, and catching the eye of Henry Malvern, head of
the most prestigious shipping company in London. But when
threats against his reputation – and his life - begin to
emerge, James will have to prove that he truly is the master
of his fate.
Through scandal and romance, tragedy and triumph, the
Falconer and Malvern family’s lives intertwine in unexpected
ways in this expansive and intricately detailed new novel
filled with drama, intrigue, and Bradford's trademark cast
of compelling characters.
