This Epic novel follows a British aristocrat from birth in 1860 until his 100th birthday in 1960. As a young boy, he is surrounded by the rarefied world of his fictional royal family. Prince Braxton is born at the family’s palatial country estate and grew up in the fabulous Renaissance House chateau in London. Protagonist Prince Braxton is typical of classic 19th Century romance stories. He is brilliant, strikingly handsome, talented, and ambitious. At an early age he travels Europe eventually creating a vast financial empire. Braxton's wife is the Grand Duchess Valentina. While in Imperial Russia, he develops mines and oil wells for the financially floundering Imperial family. He also acts as Royal Envoy for his father, the King, in the late 19th Century serving in Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and India while continuing to build an intentional rubber and shipping empire. He eventually ventures into Canada and the United States. Readers will be mesmerized as Braxton builds fame and fortune in London, Vienna, Venice, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Tokyo, Calcutta, San Francisco, Colorado, and New York. The novel follows an interesting cast of characters including Braxton’s mother, a Contessa who became a Princess then crowned Queen Mercedes. Throughout the story, he has lovers of varying description that help him resolve questions of morality and authenticity. Romance with Aramis in a grotto on the island of Capri is a highlight only to be contrasted with his interlude with Valentina on the frozen Tundra of Eastern Siberia. He travels and lives in private trains carrying him throughout Europe, Russia, India, and America. On and on the book is a page-turning saga of the most vibrant time in world history!
