Sons of A Mauffen King: Birth Betrayal by Jomo Merritt
In the tumultuous backdrop of 1920s Berlin, the Mauffenberg family is ensnared by a haunting prophecy that dictates the fates of fraternal twins Joshua and Julius. With "Sons of a Mauffen King: Birthright Betrayal" having earned the distinction of Winner of the Best Icon Neo Noir Novel Award in 2019 and being a Semifinalist in the 2020 GOETHE Book Awards for post-1750s Historical Fiction, the narrative delves deep into the dichotomy of virtue and malevolence.
Sergeant Erich Von Mauffenberg, a devout Protestant, confronts both the ominous forecast shadowing his sons and the defiant actions of his brother, George, who's drawn into Berlin's radical politics. Concurrently, Maria Mauffenberg, sheltered from the prophecy's implications, embarks on a quest for answers, unearthing dark secrets tied to their Catholic lineage, while contending with Geli Von Thinke's unsettling obsession with the twins.
As the storm of the Great Depression approaches, both twins, emblematic of diverging facets of their lineage, must confront and navigate their complex family legacy, making choices that will indelibly mark their destinies. Through it all, the narrative masterfully interlaces themes of faith, destiny, and the perpetual tussle between good and evil.
