In the early days of World War II, the Lang family lost everything. Eighty years later, it's time to take it back.
The
Nazis have taken control of Austria, and wealthy widower Leopold Lang
faces a difficult decision: join the ranks of the foreign power that has
taken over his homeland or flee with his children to safety. Leopold
makes his choice--but too late. His family is ripped apart, never to be
reunited. But decades later, fate brings together the descendants of
this broken dynasty in the place where it all began--Falcon Point.
Anna,
Cole, and Tess have never met, each relying on fractured pieces of
information to understand their Austrian heritage. But when unforeseen
opportunities draw these Lang cousins to to Falcon Point, they soon
discover they are not alone in their quest to claim the coveted property
and the fabled treasure hidden within. Unfortunately, another claimant,
one with a much darker heritage, is determined to eliminate the Lang
family once and for all.
My Review
Heirs of Falcon Point is a riveting family story that spans generations. It all starts in the early days of World War II as the Lang family becomes entangled with the Nazis. As the family flees from their beloved Austrian manor, the siblings are torn from each another. I found this part of the story was so well written by A.L. Sowards. History is this author's forte. She's written many books in this time period and does another fabulous job.
The rest of the story takes place in current times written by Traci Hunter Abramson, Paige Edwards, and Sian Ann Bessey. Readers meet the great-grandchildren of the original children in the book. Not knowing about each other creates many surprises and upheavals in their lives. Also, the main bad guy is the great grandson of the original man who took away everything from the Lang family. This trustee of the estate does everything he can from letting the Lang descendants take back what is theirs.
This engaging novel is full of action, suspense, romance, history, and family love. Each author adds their own flair to their chapters. Kudos to all of their hard work. Altogether, they've written an epic book that truly is hard to put down. There is so much this book brings that readers will love. The best thing for me is that more of this series is coming in the future.
