The Castle Dark of Upstate

About the Book

This is a story of three families. The Brocks lived through tragedies dating back to the earliest settlers. Each of the Brock men married, had a first-born son and died tragically after achieving staggering business successes. The Brock daughters all had health issues and could not bare children. Alonzo Bulgardi was an extremely wealthy shipping magnate from Italy and came to America and wanted to build a castle built for kings and settled on a 1000-acre tract of land in upstate New York. He built his castle but he also built secrets within it. He and all future male heirs vanished and were never heard from again. The Buckners have always been lucky in just about everything they attempted. When he purchased the massive castle, all three families are interwoven in multiple mysteries and staggering human losses that would bring them to the brink. When a Brock had a first-born daughter, Connie, all are thinking that the curse may have been broken. Through accidental incidents, she would see and do unimaginable things to survive a series of unfortunate events that would answer generations of questions.
