The Brotherhood Wars, a modern-day adventure and the final in The Jewel Trilogy, has young, accomplished art historian Michael Bennington off this time to Florence to view the famed recently-rediscovered Florentine Diamond and finds him in yet another thrilling pursuit this time of a legendary ceremonial sword purported to have belonged to the Emperor Charlemagne. This curious assignment then leads Bennington to Germany, and along with a vivacious young co-accomplice named Sabina, he tracks the artifact's whereabouts first to Munich and Berlin then to Amsterdam on behalf of a 600-year-old secret organization with its roots in the Holy Roman Empire. The two at last arrive at the Louvre in Paris for a life and death finale sure to excite mystery buffs everywhere and satisfy the thirsts of art enthusiasts, as well, as only Bennington's escapades can do.
