For each new generation... The Talisman... is the key to a fortune. Edward - who inherits his fathers looks... and his curse. Alex, his brother - whose quest for revenge will fuel an empire built on corruption. And Evelyne and Juliana, the fourth generation - still haunted by the family's past. From the miseries of the war years to the glamorous present, in London, America and South Africa, Lynda La Plante continues the saga that began with The Legacy.
