Bound by blood and sealed by dynasty; the Cattaneo family has spent centuries making a name for themselves, with not just blood and sweat, but with grime and skin under their nails from clawing their way up to get out on top. From the slick-dark alleyways of Brooklyn, New York.
The town's demons often made an appearance in the daily newspaper by reporting the missing persons and blood stained pathways. No one ever openly took credit for those heinous acts, those actions leaving one to take long looks over their shoulders. Silent deals made in abandoned buildings, to whispers telling tales of disfigured bodies. Wondering if it's true or false. Now at the top of the food chain while owning all of New York and everyone in it. His reign is now over, making way for Maryah to uphold this blood stained dynasty. Navigating through Blackwood University, Maryah Selena Cattaneo has an image to uphold. With the expectations from her father, wanting her to be poised, a weapon, wanting to shape her into what he wants. He taunts her behind the backs of her true protector, her mother. Coaxing and urging, pressuring her because "he knows her true potential."
Maryah has always been confident in herself, but some say she's arrogant. Namely Lailah Sage Blackwood, who feels that confidence is bedazzled snobby arrogance. Maryah has always prioritized the dollar and rashness over the main goal, but as she goes back to college to complete her junior year she has one more chance to prove herself to her father that she can be the 'perfect' heiress to the throne. Is she such a lost cause people make her out to be? Or so much more?
