In the early days of World War II, the Lang family lost everything. Eighty years later, it’s time to take it back.
The Nazis have taken control of Austria, and wealthy widower Leopold Lang faces a difficult decision: join the ranks of the foreign power that has taken over his homeland or flee with his children to safety. Leopold makes his choice—but too late. His family is ripped apart, never to be reunited. But decades later, fate brings together the descendants of this broken dynasty in the place where it all began—Falcon Point.
Anna, Cole, and Tess have never met, each relying on fractured pieces of information to understand their Austrian heritage. But when unforeseen opportunities draw these Lang cousins to Falcon Point, they soon discover they are not alone in their quest to claim the coveted property and the fabled treasure hidden within. Unfortunately, another claimant, one with a much darker heritage, is determined to eliminate the Lang family once and for all.
MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK
Having read books by Traci Hunter Abramson, I knew Heirs of Falcon Point would be a great read, and it didn’t disappoint. The other three authors were new to me, but their added stories were just as amazing. I felt so bad for the Lang children, they had to endure a lot. I wish the story hadn’t skipped decades, I wanted more from the siblings. But I did very much enjoy getting to know the three cousins, Anna, Cole and Tess. I was rooting so much for these three against Gunnar Sauermann. In each of these stories, the story flows well and the characters grow as their stories unfold. I was hoping for a good ending, and I was well pleased how all of the events and issues of the story was woven together to come up with a wonderful ending. If you enjoy WWII Stories or historical fiction, you will enjoy Heirs of Falcon Point By Traci Hunter Abramson, Sian Ann Bessey, Paige Edwards, A.L. Sowards. There a lot going on here, a lot of twists and turns in the story so just hold on to your seat and start read. You will be glad you did! This one is Five Stars for me!

Sian Ann Bessey was born in Cambridge, England, but grew up on the island of Anglesey off the coast of North Wales. She left her homeland to attend Brigham Young University in Utah, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in communications with a minor in English.

A. L. Sowards has always been fascinated by the 1940s, but she’s grateful she didn’t live back then. She doesn’t think she could have written a novel on a typewriter, and no one would be able to read her handwriting if she wrote her books out longhand. She does, however, think they had the right idea when they rationed nylon and women went barelegged.
Sowards is the author of multiple historical fiction novels, with settings spanning the globe from the fourteenth to twentieth centuries. Her stories have become Whitney Finalists and won a Whitney Award, reached the number one spot across multiple Amazon categories, received praise from the Historical Novel Society, and been loved by readers from a variety of backgrounds.
