The family trade

Miriam Beckstein, a Boston reporter, uncovers a money-laundering scheme that costs her job and puts her life in danger. She soon discovers a locket from her murdered mother, which transports her to a parallel Earth. In this new world, knights wield automatic weapons and her true family, the powerful Clan, secretly rules through a mix of nobility and criminal enterprise. Miriam finds herself caught in a web of family loyalties and a recently ended civil war, becoming a central figure in a story far bigger than she ever imagined.
