THE MAGNIFICENT SAGA OF A MAN POSSESSED BY POWER - AND THE WOMAN HE COULDN'T FORGET... Power was his passion and his destiny, the eternal flame in the heart of darkness that carried Franz Stoessel through the white-hot hell of Pennsyvania's steel mills to the top of the dynasty he had once served...

ERNESTINE, his heiress-wife, gave him her hand and lost her heart...
