Lowell's hoping to pass the reigns of Bracken Energy to his daughter Sierra. Lowell has two sons Randall and Taylor. Mysterious group is stalking all of the major power families without no clear purpose that anyone is aware of at this time. As each member of The Bracken Family faces an unnamed circumstance that will have lasting consequences for all of Cumeria. Who belongs to this mysterious group? Can Lowell follow through with his plans? What is The Bracken Family facing? Your answers await you in The Scars of Ambition.This new to me author has created a vast and unique world that has similarities to our own. The story and characters were flawed, raw, gritty, real, compelling, bold, and full of charisma. I would definitely consider reading more of this author's work in the future.

Things begin taking a turn for the worse as the patriarch is the victim of a mysterious attack and comes under suspicion of wrongdoing in his dealings with an emerging solar power competitor, while facing rekindled guilt about the source of the family's original fortunes (that he carefully withheld so far from the younger generations). Adequate, though not outstanding, but the emphasis on family bonds (both blood and chosen, both breaking or strengthening under strain) and the somewhat unusual setting and dynamic (  ) Jarandel | Mar 6, 2015 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

"The ancient family sword's immaculate steel blade reminded him that there were still parts of the world where this was the only weapon people had, the old ways were still alive and well, and there were creatures out there and powerful things beyond what he could ever imagine."Lowell Bracken had complete control. His empire, his ruthless executives, his family's legacy, his wife, his children, they all had a part to play in the near omnipotent control he exerted in Cumeria. But a freak attack exposed how tenuous that control really is, and Lowell scrambles to preserve it, discovering he is only playing a small part in larger, darker schemes for control.From the shadows, mysterious and disturbing threats disrupt the already-turbulent business landscape in Cumeria. When blood is spilled, the fight for survival becomes more than just a euphemism for going out of business, and the Brackens' struggles to retain order might be the only thing keeping all of Cumeria from plunging into chaos.The Scars of Ambition, the first book in The Cumerian Unraveling Trilogy, contains two maps, an appendix of names, and roughly 95,000 words.

Though the plot sounded interesting in the description, I found it hard to get into this story. Most of it seemed to dwell on two companies that supplied energy to the country(s); one by solar power, one by gas. To me it just felt more like a story about how to protect the nature of the planet. Not what I expected. (
