Such is the power and wealth of the Goldbaums that on dull days, it's said, they hire the sun just for themselves. Little happens in Europe without their say-so and even less without their knowing it. The Princes of the Jews, they are the royal family of finance with a House of Goldbaum bank in London, Paris, Berlin and Vienna.
Across the continent the Goldbaums are the confidents and bankers of governments and emperors, at the very heart of power. Yet despite their influence, they know that being Jews sets them apart - needed but never fully trusted and embraced. In return, they understand that family is their great strength, and rarely marry outside. But when Greta of the Vienna dynasty is sent to London to marry her cousin, Albert, whom she's barely met, the couple loathe each other on sight. The disastrous marriage threatens the unity of the family from within at a time when they are struggling to retain their influence in a rapidly changing Europe.
Soon, war is looming and, married to an Englishman, Greta finds herself on the opposite side of the conflict to her family. After two hundred years, the House of Goldbaum, along with Europe herself, is about to be broken apart.
