A family dispute unravels dark secrets in Days Without Number, leading to a dangerous confrontation with an unknown enemy.
In Days Without Number, secrets lie at the heart of family dynamics, and some may be too dangerous to uncover. Nick Paleologus is called upon to mediate a growing dispute within his family, which has the potential to fracture their bonds irreparably. His father, Michael, a retired archaeologist with a mysterious lineage tied to the last Emperors of Byzantium, has received a lucrative offer for their ancestral home in Cornwall. However, Michael's refusal to sell raises questions and tensions among his children, who are desperate to understand his motives.
As the stalemate escalates, tragedy strikes, forcing Nick and his siblings into a desperate search for answers. They soon learn that their father's attachment to the house is rooted in a dark secret that he has kept hidden for years. This revelation not only complicates their family dynamics but also plunges them into a perilous conflict with a mysterious adversary. Nick realizes that to protect his family, they must confront the truth of their father's past, no matter how unsettling it may be.
Days Without Number weaves a gripping tale of intrigue and danger, as Nick embarks on a journey to uncover the hidden truths that threaten their very existence. The stakes rise as they face an unknown enemy, and the quest for answers leads them down a path where the past and present collide, forever altering their lives.
