SINS OF POWER
Book Three of The Várady House Trilogy
Every dynasty has secrets. But the most dangerous ones are not buried in the past. They are the choices made to keep them there.
Years after the deaths that shattered the Várady family, Katalin has done what she has always done best: survived.
The family empire still stands. The Várady name still commands wealth, influence and respect. And Károly-the grandson for whom Katalin sacrificed almost everything-is growing into the heir generations of Váradys believed the family needed.
But Károly has begun asking questions of his own.
He wants to know where he truly comes from. Not the history written beneath portraits and preserved in the family archives, but the bloodline behind the man the world knew as Milan Várady-the man who was born Miklós Lonti.
Katalin agrees to find out.
It seems like a simple promise.
It is not.
The private investigator she hires to trace the surviving Lonti family soon discovers that genealogy is only the beginning. The deeper he searches, the closer he comes to the secret that destroyed the old Várady world-and to another mystery far more recent: the final hours of Anna Székely.
Because Anna's death was ruled an accident.
But twenty-seven missing minutes tell a different story.
Prosecutor Jenő Bartók has spent months separating evidence from suspicion, fact from fear and truth from the stories people tell themselves in order to live with what they have done. His questions lead him back to Tamás Horváth, the man who found Anna that night, took Károly away-and may know why help did not arrive when it should have.
As Jenő closes in, Katalin is forced to confront a possibility more disturbing than any crime committed in her name: that power does not always require an order.
Sometimes people already know what you want.
Sometimes they act before you ask.
And sometimes the greatest sin is simply choosing not to ask what they have done for you.
Meanwhile, Károly is no longer the child everyone fought to possess. He is old enough to question the family that raised him, old enough to discover what has been hidden from him-and old enough to decide whether being the Várady heir means inheriting its empire, its name, or its sins.
Sins of Power is the final book of The Várady House Trilogy, a dark psychological thriller about guilt, complicity, inheritance and the corrupting intimacy of power.
In Book One, a man stole a name.
In Book Two, a family fought to preserve its bloodline.
In Book Three, they must face what was done to protect them.
Because an empire can survive scandal.
A family can survive the truth.
But neither can escape the choices made in its name forever.
