In the early days of World War II, the Lang family lost everything. Eighty years later, it’s time to take it back.
The Nazis have taken control of Austria, and wealthy widower Leopold Lang faces a difficult decision: join the ranks of the foreign power that has taken over his homeland or flee with his children to safety. Leopold makes his choice—but too late. His family is ripped apart, never to be reunited. But decades later, fate brings together the descendants of this broken dynasty in the place where it all began—Falcon Point.
Anna, Cole, and Tess have never met, each relying on fractured pieces of information to understand their Austrian heritage. But when unforeseen opportunities draw these Lang cousins to Falcon Point, they soon discover they are not alone in their quest to claim the coveted property and the fabled treasure hidden within. Unfortunately, another claimant, one with a much darker heritage, is determined to eliminate the Lang family once and for all.

My Thoughts:
Heirs of Falcon Point surprised me in many ways. At first I thought since it was written by four authors it would be an anthology. It is not and what it is is a seamlessly woven story about a family who dared to stand up to evil. This is their story and the story of their heirs.
Karl, Ingrid, and Anna Lang have already lost their mother to death and now their father is asking them to leave their home. The war (World War 2) has reached Austria now and very few people can be trusted. Not even long time friends. So they all make plans to leave the country. They have even hidden many of the family's treasures so that upon their return they can set up house again. Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. Devastating losses have happened and the worst case scenario took place, separation.
I was caught up in these young people's lives and the danger they were facing until all of a sudden we are put in the present time. The story of their heirs. But what happened to the Lang children? And can the Lang's ever reclaim their ancestral home?
I don't want to say much more, but this book was very hard to put down. Family and how important it is was the running theme throughout and it does make you think what you would do to stay together. Definitely one you might just want to pick up.
I received a copy of this novel from the publisher. I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.

A. L. Sowards has always been fascinated by the 1940s, but she’s grateful she didn’t live back then. She doesn’t think she could have written a novel on a typewriter, and no one would be able to read her handwriting if she wrote her books out longhand. She does, however, think they had the right idea when they rationed nylon and women went barelegged.
Sowards is the author of multiple historical fiction novels, with settings spanning the globe from the fourteenth to twentieth centuries. Her stories have become Whitney Finalists and won a Whitney Award, reached the number one spot across multiple Amazon categories, received praise from the Historical Novel Society, and been loved by readers from a variety of backgrounds.
