Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A box that opens only to his blood. A letter, four hundred years old, that already knows his name. And an inheritance that will change everything he thought he was.Anthony has spent thirty years learning to spot the fake: the doctored antique, the clever forgery, the desire a con is built to exploit. When a London solicitor summons him to claim something held in trust since 1881, he expects another puzzle he can take apart. Instead he finds a sealed wooden box, a gold key, and a note addressed to him personally by a woman who died centuries before he was born.Her name was Magdalena. A baker in the Bohemian town of Cheb, a healer, the keeper of a book her family begged her never to lose. In 1641, with the Thirty Years' War tearing Europe apart, she gathered five people around a table and built something meant to outlast armies and inquisitors alike. She was hunted for it. The Order of the Orange Torch wanted what she carried, and according to the voice that reaches Anthony from somewhere just past sleep, they are hunting still.As Anthony and his brother Steven follow a trail from London to a Tudor house in Essex and back across the centuries into Magdalena's own journals, two stories braid together: a woman defending her people against a fear that demands fire, and a man who has kept everyone at arm's length finally asked to choose what he belongs to.Some inheritances are passed down. This one has to be recognised, then chosen.Euphrosyne's Lineage is the first book in a sweeping dual-timeline saga of family, memory, and quiet courage, where the table you set may matter more than any battle you fight.
