King Ludwig II of Bavaria dreamed of building his own kingdom—far from the constraints of empire, politics, and sanity. Most dismissed it as madness. But what if he succeeded?
In The Last Kingdom, Cotton Malone returns in a globe-spanning thriller fueled by buried history and modern power plays. When Malone’s protégé, Luke Daniels, uncovers clues to a mysterious 19th-century deed that may prove Ludwig’s dream became reality, the race is on.
Now the United States, China, and Germany all want the same thing: control of a document that could shift the global balance of power. From Bavaria’s storybook castles to deadly backroom deals, Cotton and Luke face ruthless enemies and a centuries-old secret that could rewrite modern history.
