Book one · Coming soon
When private loyalties collide with political power, whom can you trust?
James is drawn into a world where every conversation carries a second meaning, and trust can become a dangerous obligation. As the pressure grows, he must decide what he is prepared to believe — and what he is prepared to become.
Enquire about The LegacyEveryone has something to protect.
Some have more to lose than others.
A character-led thriller about influence, divided loyalties and the choices people make under pressure. The danger is as much in what remains unsaid as in what is revealed.
The next book will return to the world of The Legacy, opening a new chapter in its exploration of power and loyalty.
Book One includes the first chapter of Book Two at the end — a first glimpse of what comes next.
By Emily Brooklyn
