Such is the power and wealth of the Goldbaums that on dull days, it's said, they hire the sun just for themselves.'
The Goldbaums' influence reaches across Europe. They are the confidants and bankers of governments and emperors. Little happens in Europe without their say-so and even less without their knowledge. But Greta Goldbaum has no say at all in who she'll marry.
While power lies in wealth, strength lies in family. Greta's union with Cousin Albert will strengthen the bond between the Austrian and the English branches of the dynasty. It is sensible and strategic. Greta is neither.
Defiant and unhappy, she is desperate to find a place that belongs to her, free from duty and expectation. But just as she begins to taste an unexpected happiness, war is looming and even the Goldbaums can't alter its course. For the first time in two hundred years, the family will find themselves on opposing sides.
The House of Goldbaum, along with Europe herself, is about to break apart.
