"the Medici will ruin you." "maybe I want to be ruined." "honey, nobody wants to be ruined. we all want to be saved." Peter Morgenstern has spent his whole life moving from town to town with his mother and sisters, struggling to make ends meet and believing that someday he'll climb out of the gutter. After his mother's death, Peter and his sisters are truly left alone. Until Piero de Medici appears. The man plucks the three of them out of poverty and tosses them into his fancy mansion, among his five children who all hate them. The Medici siblings are determined to send the Morgensterns back to the mud they came from. Peter, Antonia and Maya will learn on their own skin that appearances may be deceiving. In this world, the world of wealth, excess and deception, not everyone is who they seem to be, everyone has secrets. And sometimes secrets are stronger than family.
