Sons of the Ambrose

Gilland Ambrose, a 19th-century English trading magnate, has journeyed to Venice to strike a deal. He plans to secure both a partnership with magnate Jacamello Grossini's shipping company and a wife for his son William. But his most ardent wish is to add to the Ambrose family's skills, specifically the talent that Signore Grossini's beautiful daughter Anna Luca possesses. She is a 'traveler,' which means that she has mastered the art of teleportation. This union between her and his son will ensure that future Ambrose progeny have the power to protect the riches and skills they already possess. But what seems so easy at first is soon rife with intrigue and tragedy. The Ambrose doublecross the Grossini, who levy a curse against their former partners, a deadly curse that no amount of time will erase. In present-day Dallas, Texas, an unknown Ambrose heir, Conrad Lancaster, has written a book. He unwittingly gives away the secret whereabouts of the Texas-born Ambrose family. In committing to paper a story which he believes to be family lore, he jeopardizes not only his own life but also the lives of the rest of the family and of his partner Anthony Holt. His novel Sons of the Ambrose has set in motion a potentially deadly game of hide and seek which the Grossini have waited centuries to play.
