Prince of Sand

The year was 1744. In a Jewish ghetto in Frankfurt, the eventual leader of what would become the world's most powerful house of banking was born while the leader of a small tribe among the West African Yoruban people on the Dahomey plain became the proud father of a fine son. His mother always called to him as Yamar but all others referred to him simply as Prince. Both Prince and Mayer Amschel Rothschild had mountains to climb. Their paths would lead them to places of which they never dreamed. In his first novel, Farrar follows these men through fast paced steps that are taken with some of the most distinguished citizens of their time. Step into their worlds and enjoy the journey that is Prince of Sand.
