The Power Seekers — Clayton Matthews

The bold, powerful saga of a family born of passion... and nearly destroyed by lust!

It began with Levi Starke

...a man who dared to dream of a dynasty - and damned all who stood in his way.

From the raw, sweaty, plantation days of the Old South, to a murder trial as modern as tomorrow's headlines, here are the men, women, and events that scandalized a city.

Like the man who spawned them all, the Starkes were possessed by a relentless drive for power. But not even their pride and greed could match their insatiable desires for sexual conquest.

...until the rage of a jealous husband exploded the unwritten laws of the community. Laws made by the Starkes for everyone but the Starkes.
