Synopsis
Dynasty of Death was the debut novel of the Anglo-American writer Taylor Caldwell (1900–1985), released in September 1938 and published by Scribner's Sons. When Caldwell submitted the manuscript to Maxwell Perkins in 1937, she was an unknown housewife from Buffalo, New York. Before her identity was revealed, common speculation was that the author was male and a literary veteran writing under a pen name. Dynasty of Death launched her prolific career. A sequel, The Eagles Gather, was released in January 1940.
