Price of Power - The Sanctum, #4

The deeper they dig, the darker the legacy becomes.

After uncovering long-buried secrets about the founders of The Sanctum, Joe, Alex, and Nicky find themselves drawn into a mystery that reaches far beyond wealth. Hidden treasure beneath the waters of Jonders Cove is only the beginning. When a forced break sends them on a road trip to Cape Town with five-year-old Brian, the journey becomes more than just an escape—it becomes a reckoning.

As they navigate the beauty and chaos of Cape Town, Joe's inner darkness resurfaces. At the Castle of Good Hope, he loses his grip—and Brian is pulled into the storm with him. What they discover there is more than history. It's a truth that shakes the family to its core.

In Cape Town, they meet Johan—an eccentric, flamboyant curator of a property they've inherited in Llandudno. But Johan is more than a caretaker. He becomes a mirror, a mentor, and a father figure Joe and Alex never knew they needed. His presence brings warmth, humor, and healing, especially during Nicky's unforgettable film-themed birthday celebration back in Jonders Cove.

But joy is fleeting. Joe's darkness strikes again, leaving Brian in a coma and the family reeling.

As the new year dawns, Brian begins to recover—but new revelations emerge. The seven ships discovered beneath Jonders Cove hold more than relics. They hold answers. A trip to Paris becomes inevitable, bringing unwanted attention, lavish distractions, and truths that could reshape everything.

Price of Power is a story of legacy, love, and the cost of uncovering what was meant to stay buried. As Joe and Alex confront the shadows of their past and the weight of their future, they must ask: how much are they willing to sacrifice to protect the ones they love?
