REIGN OF REVOLUTION
Russia, the Romanovs, and the Lost Fabergés
WORK IN PROGRESS
Beginning in 1885, Russian Czar Alexander III and then his son Nicholas II, commissioned jeweler Peter Carl Fabergé to create more than fifty Imperial Easter Eggs over a span of thirty years. Valued at more than $30 million each, seven are still missing. They have not been seen since they were looted by the Bolsheviks in 1917 during the brutal revolution that led to the callous execution of the Romanov royal family. In the second novel in the Blood & Treasure series, REIGN OF REVOLUTION, Alyx and Max search the globe for the Romanov's missing Fabergé eggs and what they discover will rewrite history.
Legacy of Lies
Pitch
Two strangers bound by a buried secret must outrun a legacy of Nazi-era lies someone is killing to protect.
On the verge of marrying into one of Europe’s most powerful banking families, internationally renowned art authenticator Alyxzandra Marx discovers that her fiancé David Drexler’s European dynasty was built on a legacy of stolen art, murder, and carefully buried lies.
When Alyx meets the elusive Belarusian art thief, Maximilian Zubrov, she can’t shake the feeling that their paths are connected. Soon she learns that their families have a shared tragic history, one that Max is seeking vengeance for—and the Drexlers are his target.
Together, Alyx and Max follow a trail of crimes stretching from Manhattan galleries to Italian black-market art auctions, and deep into the forests of Eastern Europe searching for the truth. With just days until her nuptials, Alyx is ordered to authenticate the Drexlers’ stolen collection. When she refuses, she finds out that there is nothing they won’t do to keep their family’s secrets buried—including rape, kidnapping and murder. Max must decide what matters more—his vengeance or Alyx.
Legacy of Lies is a gripping international thriller that blends historical intrigue with modern-day suspense, set in a world where every masterpiece hides a secret and every ally could be a traitor.
Perfect for fans of The Amber Room, Deadly Provenance, and The Lost Van Gogh, this novel captures the emotional intensity of Woman in Gold and the relentless momentum of The Da Vinci Code.
