The Fourth Level - Book One - Hostile Takeover (Paperback or Softback)

55-year old eccentric billionaire, Charlemagne de la Cabernet, had thought that he had lived the good life filled with adventures, mystery-solving, innovation, and inventing… until now. At his age, he has found himself stuck in the mud of a deep depression without the will to find, or return, to what had once motivated him. In his last act, he intends to sell off his family’s legacy, Cabernet Industries, a multinational billion-dollar conglomerate with stakes in almost every economic sector and roots to the nineteenth century.

However, on the day that he intends to finalize the liquidation, Charlemagne finds himself responsible for a fourteen-year old orphan from Harlech, Diana Cambridge, which forces him to delay his plans until Diana can be moved to a foster home. Diana, horrified by Charlemagne’s plans to sell the company and its various assets to a group of unreliable, amoral, and malicious multinational corporations, she allies with Charlemagne’s brother, Salmar Cabernet, and his own fourteen-year adopted son, Tristan Merrick, to attempt to bring Charlemagne back on his feet.

Can the three of them return a smile onto Charlemagne’s face? Or will the adventure end before they can even begin?
