Listen up to the latest mind-bending adventure by none other than the celebrated New York Times bestselling author himself, Steve Berry. Prepare for a wild ride as we dive into the world of Cotton Malone, where the discovery of a lost historical document threatens to shake the United States to its core.
We first meet King Ludwig II of Bavaria, a truly enigmatic figure who was overthrown in 1886 only to mysteriously drown three days later. Now, hold on to your seats, folks, because things are about to get interesting. History tells us that in his final years, Ludwig embarked on an eccentric quest for a new kingdom, a place where he could rule freely and on his own terms. But here's the burning question: Did he actually succeed?
Enter our main man, Cotton Malone. After months of hard work, Malone's protégé, Luke Daniels, manages to infiltrate a rebellious group hell-bent on gaining independence for Bavaria. That's not all, folks. Daniels also earns the trust of the Bavarian prince, a restless second son who dreams of usurping his brother, the duke, and restoring the Wittelsbach monarchy with himself as the king. Talk about family drama, am I right?
But wait, there's more! Everything hangs in the balance as a 19th-century deed comes into play. This little piece of history proves that Ludwig's rumored search for a new kingdom wasn't just a pipe dream. It grants legal ownership of lands that are now coveted by Germany, China, and the good ol' United States of America. It's a race against time as Malone and Daniels find themselves in a heart-pounding pursuit across Bavaria. Clues are hidden within Ludwig's fantastical castles -- Neuschwanstein, Linderhof, and Herrenchiemsee. And let me tell you, folks, they're not alone in this treacherous adventure. The duo must face off against a growing list of deadly adversaries, all vying to find the last kingdom.
