Kaspar, a disgraced vintner stripped of his royal birthright, hides in the shadows of the old world's wine cellars. When his family's secret ledger—the Black Gold Archives—surfaces, it holds the keys to toppling the political dynasty that destroyed his house. But the archive is a double-edged sword, coveted by Sofia, a cold-eyed EU audit chief who wants it for her own ends, and Marcus, a ruthless banker who will kill to keep its secrets buried. With Isabella, a proud winery heiress, as his only ally, Kaspar must decode the ledger's coded entries before his enemies rewrite history. Every page is a gamble; every name a weapon. In a game of royal succession and old money, only those who control the past can seize the crown.
