By all appearances, Tom Rohan is an ordinary businessman, husband and father in Dijon, France. And yet, he has guarded a powerful secret for all of his adult life-a hidden legacy now threatened with exposure. Could it be true? This quiet, modest scientist is actually the direct descendant of the Carolingian emperor? Heir to a vast fortune, with land holdings in Germany, France and Italy, as influential as the British monarch and the Pope. French Legend follows Tom's personal journey as he confronts secret millionaire's societies, crime syndicates, royal families and Vatican officials, all of whom have a stake in the Rohan family dynasty. Tom faces physical challenges from corrupt members of his own inner circle and during his explorations of the dungeons of Castle Rohan, as well as dangers of the heart as he meets a long-lost lover. This taut, fast-paced thriller offers readers not only a page-turning adventure story, but also a reminder of the importance of staying true to one's self and personal values-and above all, fidelity to family and the healing power of love. -Joyce Krieg 9/17/2019
