In 1826, in the country of Lwendolen, the elite Quad family stands as the upper crust and cream of society. The daughter, Valerie, is engaged to a man with a name attached to success and fortune, but her older brother Henry is mentally unstable and a failure and that is unacceptable to their father. Valerie's fiance seems like a charming man but behind that mask is another man who only cares about himself and the Quad fortune. What role will he play in the Quad family's life? On top of that, something else is working behind the scenes here. In the middle of the winter, the Quads' hidden past will soon be unearthed through murder and deceit, staining the snow crimson. ~There is no success without failure, but a Failure will never succeed.~ (Dark human drama and satire. Omniscient lit-fic.) Trigger Warning: there are scenes of domestic violence, physical abuse, opium addiction, depression, and lots of murders. I won't turn you away, but you have been warned. There is ZERO smut.
