Thank you.

LEAGUE OF THE SILVER CROSS

So, what is the symbol of the silver cross in Legacy of Danger?

This story dates back from the 14th century when Vlad Tepes ruled Walachia and most of Transylvania. (remember Bram Stoker's Dracula?) At least, he alternated that rule with the Turks. The Turks had the cross and during the wars in the 1300's the Boyard Princes stole it back. The silver cross was encrusted with rubies, diamonds, emeralds and sapphires-jewels of the most precious kind. The rubies came from Burma, where the most highly prized gems came from. The Boyards called themselves "The League of the Silver Cross."  In the beginning, Prince Vlad was popular among the people, but he became so cruel and later insane they had to do something. It is rumored he was killed by his own men in one of the Romanian-Turk wars in the 1400's. The silver cross remained in the Dkany Castle until an earthquake in the 1500's destroyed it-- a rumor. 

You'll find out about that and more while reading LEGACY OF DANGER.  

Is this true? Much of it is. The League of the Silver Cross is Elena and her family's history. That is fiction based on truth. Vlad Tepes' history is pretty much true.

This book is in a re-editing process and should be available shortly.
