Harry Black has a curse he doesn't understand, or could it be a gift he can't escape? He's the last heir of a dying clan, but to inherit, he must accept the Black family legacy. Suffering nightmares, Harry is desperate, but instead of help from a psychologist, Dr. Virginia Rankin, Harry falls headlong into the legacy's grip when he experiences an ecstatic utterance and reveals information he couldn't possibly know. Shocked that this stranger has knowledge of her family's dark secret, Ginny makes a frantic call to her brother, the Minority Whip of the US Senate, making him late for a meeting at a world economic summit, delaying him long enough to avoid a terrorist bombing that kills dozens. By saving the life of Dr. Rankin's famous brother, Harry has also sealed his own fate. Wanted or not, the Black Legacy has finally come to him.
