The Talisman

The 30th Anniversary edition of the sequel to Lynda La Plante's original bestseller, The Legacy

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Following the 30th Anniversary edition of The Legacy comes the thrilling sequel, The Talisman, from bestselling screenwriter and author of The Dirty Dozen, Lynda La Plante.

The Talisman is the key to a fortune, or so the tradition says. Each new generation can benefit if they remain selfless enough.

Evelyne and Juliana, the fourth generation, are still haunted by the family's past. Edward inherited his father's looks - and his curse - while Alex's quest for revenge will fuel an empire.

But a fortune can make people ruthless - and a family can hit you where it hurts.

This is the passionate story of a family's lives and fortunes and the curse that forged their names...

Widows by Lynda La Plante is now a major motion picture.
