Legacy of Shadows by Carolyn Bowen

About the Legacy of Shadows

In “Legacy of Shadows,” we journey back to the prestigious Mandarino Italian Estate with David, the determined heir entangled in a perilous web of deceit and danger. David’s return to his family’s ancestral home is anything but peaceful. His idyllic life with his wife, Zana, an entrepreneurial force in the skincare industry, is shattered when Zana is brutally attacked by the notorious Zarrella Clan, leaving her comatose.

David is thrust into a harrowing struggle to balance his personal and professional obligations. Amidst internal staff issues and looming threats from a Northern cartel, he grapples with the suspicion that his blood brother might be involved in the ambitious vineyard plans financed by the cartel. Transporting Zana back to her island home for recovery, David devotes nearly a year to her care, supported by hired nurses and her family.

But the challenges don’t end there. As the head of the Mandarino family and the U.S. Distribution Center in Savannah, David’s responsibilities compel him to test his underboss’s loyalty. A brief business trip to Savannah further complicates his life when Jasmine, a fleeting acquaintance, reveals her pregnancy with David’s child, presenting him with a new and urgent dilemma.

David must navigate the treacherous waters of mafia influence in the U.S. and Italy while facing critical decisions shaping his family’s future. Torn between expanding business threats from the Chicago Mob, cartel conspiracies, and personal crises, David must uncover the truth and secure his family’s legacy before it is consumed by the shadows of betrayal and violence.

“Legacy of Shadows” is a masterful blend of suspense, intrigue, and family drama. The narrative is rich and captivating, much like the Tuscan landscape it is set against. The story delves deep into themes of trust, betrayal, and the lengths one will go to protect their loved ones.

Writing this book has been a journey filled with twists and turns, much like David’s story. I am thrilled to share it with you and hope you find it as engrossing and heartfelt as I intended.
