By Royal Design

Dr. Peter Schneider is a Boston cardiologist, a man of science who saves lives, not a leader who rules them. But when he arrives in Berlin, he is swept into a conspiracy centuries in the making. In hidden councils, the heirs of Europe's royal dynasties-the Habsburgs, the Hohenzollerns, the Saxons, and more-have chosen him to become the face of their boldest ambition: a United States of Europe ruled not by democracy, but by crowns.Peter is unprepared for the weight of destiny. But someone else is ready.Adam Bergman, Mossad operative and grandson of a Jewish poet who defied the Nazis, has lived his life in the shadows. For Adam, history is not theory-it is blood, memory, and warning. Where others see Peter as Europe's savior, Adam sees him as a pawn in a ruthless design that could strangle freedom forever.As assassins strike, loyalties fracture, and secrets surface from the Vatican to Vienna, Peter and Adam are hurled into a collision course that will decide whether Europe's future belongs to democracy-or to empire reborn.By Royal Design launches the explosive thriller saga that continues in By Papal Decree and By Her Majesty's Command, with an all-new volume already in the making.And at the helm is Norbert E. Reich-a master storyteller whose vision blends the sweep of history with the pulse of today's headlines. With meticulous research, razor-sharp suspense, and characters who linger long after the final page, Reich delivers a series as intelligent as it is irresistible.Because history never dies. It waits. And now-it wears a crown.
