In the second book of the DuPont Family Chronicles, Blaise and Gisselle DuPont begin their epic lives in America. The post-war years provide them with opportunities to build their American Business Empire and contribute to the advancement of the country’s rise to power and prestige. However, there are dark forces from the past that will resurface, attacking what they hold most dear. The sins of the past will come back to haunt Blaise. Gisselle will know the greatest pain of motherhood. Rafael will flee the country to save a loved one and be caught up in history’s greatest crime. Jubal stands his ground and builds a lasting legacy. As the world begins its slow and then ever quickening pace towards a second and more devastating world conflict, the DuPont’s, as well as many family and friends, are unwittingly drawn into the maelstrom. Only their faith in each another and the assistance of old friends can see them through to build an Empire.
