Boston, 1992. On a frosty winter night, twenty-eight-year-old Alison Palmer returns home from City Hall to find a letter from a long-lost relative.

What she discovers inside pulls her into a mystery spanning generations, rooted in a solemn promise to a dying soldier on the blood-soaked battlefields of Flanders and secret World War I dealings between three of the world’s most powerful men. Decades later, those hidden alliances still have the power to shake the modern world.

Thrust into a murky realm of corporate espionage, international conspiracy, and financial intrigue, Alison must navigate a deadly game where allies and enemies blur, and betrayal lurks at every turn. Outmatched, outgunned and hunted, she faces one of the globe’s most ruthless corporations, and an adversary with limitless resources and no conscience.

With only her courage, wits, and the unlikely loyalty of an honourable ally, Alison must decide how far she’s willing to go—and what she’s willing to risk—to survive.

Heirline is a pulse-pounding, atmospheric thriller of power, legacy, and survival. From the darkest corners of history to the forbidden corridors of power, Thomas Knight delivers a masterful tale where nothing is as it seems—and the truth is worth killing for.

How far would you go to uncover a secret that powerful men will kill to protect?
