"And in the end, this trilogy is a grand drama. The conflicts, intrigues, and romances among the cast of characters intensify, and readers who have come this far should not only be compelled to read through to the end, but be eagerly awaiting the final installment." - Kirkus Review

Near tragedy became triumph at the end of Part Two: A Brother's Defense, and Mauro and Resi couldn't be happier as this final book in The House of Baric trilogy begins.

He, his wife Resi, and their entourage are preparing to leave the Venetian territory of Croatia for Venice, where they will meet up with the Carreras at Stephan's long-awaited wedding to Mira.

The spotlight is on the women ** in Part Three: Widows and Weddings, where the Barics' tale comes full circle.

Circles are not always smooth, and it will be jarring for our friends as their happily ever after fades like a sunset over the Adriatic shore. Enter the House of Baric for one last visit. Share their joy, feel their grief, and find out how this grand drama ends.
