Rising and Falling - Gregory Nelson - Bog

For many years, the family circle led by first cousins Tomas Adamson and Paul "Paco" Stephenson has enjoyed comfortable existence. But recently, their village has sustained damage brought on by the infidelity of one of its most important members. Because a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, the bond that held the family together begins to unravel, bringing changes both good and bad.
As some of the changes begin to threaten the well-being of the village, a distressful event results in a cry for help that brings a mysterious group of family elders into the situation. With the arrival of the previously unknown "heads of the family," many long-buried secrets are exposed, which sparks more trouble in the form of unexpected danger and ever-climbing stakes that will change the village for all time.
