Description: Edward Deravenel is finally the king of his company. He's the man who sought--and won--a business empire. Now it's 1918, the war is over, an influenza epidemic is sweeping England, and Edward has a family and a business to protect. He must make his way between his loyal brother Richard and his treacherous younger brother George. The politics of inheritance are intense, as different family factions vie for the honor. The choices include a loyal caretaker, a jealous rumormonger, a charming young woman, a sickly boy, and a scion of the family Edward ousted from power years ago.
