The captivating continuation of the Hansen saga by bestselling author Ellin Carsta. Hamburg 1893: After turbulent years, the financial situation of the Hansens is finally stable, and they have gained power, prestige, and influence. This is primarily due to the rich yield from the cocoa beans grown on their own plantation in Cameroon. However, the economic success does not reflect in the personal lives of the family members, and new dark clouds are gathering on the horizon. Luise has grown into an independent young woman who actively contributes to the family business and is fully engaged in her professional life. When her father arranges a marriage for her, rejection is her first reaction. She resists conforming to the role of the well-behaved daughter that has been assigned to her, especially since her heart still belongs to Cameroon, and above all, to Hamza.
