The long-awaited sequel to Sidney Sheldon's #1 New York Times bestselling masterpiece, Master of the Game

In his spellbinding bestseller, beloved author Sidney Sheldon introduced the glamorous, scheming Blackwell family and its unforgettable matriarch, Kate Blackwell. Now a generation has passed, and as the world has changed, so too has America's royal family.

The intervening years have not lessened the Blackwells' talent for manipulation, domination, and passion. The children of Kate's granddaughters are determined to control Kruger-Brent, Ltd., the multibillion-dollar international corporation with holdings in diverse industries around the globe. But only one can reign supreme.

In a family rife with secrets--murder, hidden identities, perversions--and a depraved sense of honor, the player who wins the game may be the only one who can survive.
