The Throne of Olympus Volume 1: "The Empty Crown"
Descrição da editora
Set against the backdrop of true, world events, “Dallas” and “I Claudius” unite, resulting in a deeply engaging and richly entertaining experience. The protagonists in this passion-fuelled saga of our times are members of two rival banking dynasties – the Villon Family in Europe and the Ravenscroft Family in the U.S.A. – who are arch-enemies. But it was not always so. Around the mid-nineteenth century, both families were members of a secret cabal, whose long-term, covert goal was the establishment of a new world order that would involve the creation of a single economy, banking system and, in turn, a single government. While witnessing the disintegration of their tangled personal relationships, we follow their cunning and ruthless conspiracies over the ensuing decades right up to the present time, where Zane Ravenscroft, the character of Zeus, sets out to claim the throne and the ultimate prize of power. The story takes place in many exciting locations across the globe as we become immersed in an Olympian world of lust and greed, intrigue and murder, incest and patricide.
