Wolfe Berger a spirited entrepreneur whose rakish behaviour attracts many intrigues and unusual encounters and his close friend Hawke a Mediterranean mystic attempt to thwart unknown conspirators from destroying the Beaumont family and discovery of generations of ancestral secrets. In the year 1800 Wolfe and Hawke travel through Europe and the sugar islands and those that would join them on the journey would have their lives changed forever. Elliott Clancy would learn that "We are all family" but not all would be accepted into this unusual family.
