THE BLOOD & TREASURE SERIES

Everyone thinks that Austrian-native Alyxzandra Marx has a charmed life. Her career authenticating early-twentieth-century art allows her to see and touch history while traveling the world. She’s just moved into David Drexler’s Manhattan penthouse, her boyfriend of six months and heir to a European banking empire. But on the eve of her thirty-fifth birthday, she overhears a cryptic conversation between David and his father. Their talk of a decades-old vendetta involving their families leaves her terrified. When David proposes the very next day, Alyx has no choice but to say yes.

Alone and desperate for answers, a chance encounter with the enigmatic Belarusian art thief Maximilion Zubrov further upends her life. What Max eventually reveals causes her to doubt everyone and everything she thought she knew.

With only eight weeks until her wedding day, Alyx and Max travel the world, searching for secrets long buried by the weight of time and money. While eluding threats on her life and the Red Notice issued on his, they unearth the deepest roots of their own family trees. As they expose clandestine ties to Nazi Germany, World War II, and the dark underbelly of the black-market international art world, they discover the deadly costs of protecting a legacy of lies.
