Kalifornische Sonne, üppige Weinberge und eine junge Frau, die um ihr Erbe kämpft – der große Generationenroman von Bestsellerautorin Barbara Wood. Die Schaller-Weingüter sind legendär im Weinland Kalifornien. Aber jetzt steht Nicole, Urenkelin der Gründer, finanziell unter Druck. Als dann noch in einem Weinkeller ein Skelett entdeckt wird, droht sie alles zu verlieren. Sie macht sich auf Spurensuche in die Vergangenheit... Ein Jahrhundert zuvor: 1912 bauen die Schallers, Winzer aus Deutschland, ihr neues Leben in Kalifornien auf. Schnell sind die Brüder Wilhelm und Johann erfolgreich. Doch als klar wird, dass Wilhelms junge Frau Clara eigentlich Johann liebt, entzweien sich die Brüder in tödlichem Hass. Der Riss, der durch die Familie geht, wird das Schicksal dreier Generationen bestimmen. Ein mitreißender Roman über einen schicksalhaften Familienzwist und die Liebe, die Versöhnung bringt.

For as long as anyone could remember, the Schallers and the Newmans had been enemies. When the skeletal remains of a victim of foul play are discovered at the Schaller estate, a decades-old feud between the rival winemaking families is reignited and dark secrets begin to see the light of day. Set against the lush backdrop of the rolling hills of California's Central Coast, The New York Times best-selling author Barbara Wood's thirtieth novel is a generation-spanning saga of love, treachery, and bitterly held grudges.

Vowed to wed the wealthy but cruel shipbuilder Jotham, Leah declines his offer of marriage after discovering that he and his family suffer from “the falling sickness.” Enraged by her refusal and his ruined reputation, he blackmails Leah’s father, a punishment forgiven only by offering Leah’s hand in marriage. With no more options for another suitor and no male heir for her family, Leah must seek out the cure for Jotham’s sickness or her family will face permanent ruin. During her quest Leah begins to burn with desire for Daveed, the handsome household scribe whose culture forbids their union.

With rich historical detail, The Serpent and the Staff is a sweeping tale of love, betrayal, and how one family's faith can overcome the obstacles that life has in store for them.
