What if the Civil War never truly ended, and you never noticed America was now surrendering?
When historian and former Navy SEAL Jack Sullivan is handed a Civil War cipher, he expects a historical footnote. Instead he pulls a thread Jefferson Davis died protecting.
The Knights of the Golden Circle were real. A secret brotherhood that nearly broke the Union from within, not with armies, but with fear, money, and patience. Officially, they vanished after 1871.
They didn't vanish. They became patient.
For 160 years, they embedded themselves in the institutions Americans trust, waiting for the moment when they wouldn't need to seize power. They would be invited to take it.
Now their heirs have risen. And Jack begins to realize he was never hunting the treasure.
He was being led to it.
Joined by Homeland cyber analyst Priya Patel, and hunted by enemies he can't see, Jack must unravel a design older and more patient than anyone imagined… before the trap closes around everyone he loves.
Some secrets don't stay buried. They grow roots.
The Knights of the Golden Circle is the third novel in the award-winning Echoes of Fortune series. Fans of Daniel Silva, Brad Thor, and Steve Berry will feel right at home.
