There was a big, red door that watched their sins unfold- all until they are undone by their own madness. It is the horrific bonds of childhood that shape their horrific interactions in the future. The Regents are powerful, untouchable, hurt only by the obsessive love and hatred they hold for each other. There are the three sisters: Bella (dark, disturbed and beautiful), Medea (the crowned storyteller who tries to run away) and Celia (selfishly gentle) and their two cousins: Ryan (the prized heir who sneers ar his fortune) and Dylan (the second son, the overlooked, the spare). Bella tries to play puppetmaster and keep them dangling from her strings. They pull apart, defiant, which forces her to resorts to harsh methods. It feeds on her humanity and it compromises their morality. They grow up with a twisted view of love and lust, rebellion and obedience, anger and misery. Taking place amongst the elite of 20th century England, it's a tale of an aristocratic family with cursed blood, unable to escape the sins they create.
