The Clan Corporate

In "The Clan Corporate," Miriam Beckstein, a sharp Boston journalist, finds herself further entangled in the treacherous politics of her powerful, alternate-reality family. Having previously discovered her lineage of 'Merchant Princes' capable of walking between worlds, Miriam has fought to maintain her independence and establish a new life and business in a third, uncharted reality. However, her attempts to escape the family's pervasive influence and archaic traditions, particularly their view of women as property for breeding, are proving increasingly futile. Following a series of betrayals, murders, and the loss of a loved one, Miriam now faces her greatest challenge yet. As she navigates the dangerous labyrinth of inter-world trade and family schemes, she risks overreaching. The stakes are higher than ever, with potential consequences ranging from death to a fate far worse – including the chilling prospect of a forced marriage to a brain-damaged royal heir in one of the parallel worlds. Miriam must confront her family's dark demands or face the ultimate price for defiance.
