    In Sixteenth Century Europe, as countries extend their global reach, an Anglo-Dutch Allegiance sets out to undermine and bring down the Spanish Empire. 
    When a wealthy Genoese banker and his vivacious wife employ a new tutor, they are under constant surveillance.

With the Genoese banker engrossed in the power of his position, secrets are revealed and treasures are uncovered. 
    But the Allegiance's cause is not the only one being pursued. In a series of twists and counter moves, Masquerade Gold leads the reader through the evolving struggles of a complex Europe.
