Blood Rose | blood rose #1

twenty six years after a third nuclear world war decimates well over half the population of the planet, the world still fails to pick itself up from the ashes it plunged itself into. The will to survive and the burn to create a better world has left the hearts of most--and those who still crave salvation are not in a position to enforce it. The world is more dangerous than it has ever been since creation, as the government collapses worldwide, first starting with the death of the Queen of England and the coming of a new dark Queen, Rose Bonaham, known by the public as the dark rose. The instability tears through all the monarchies and democracies, now riddled with assassinations and blunt murders.

In Britain, the already impoverished Romanian-African family of Eleanor Cristescu undergoes a massive hit when the head of the family, her father, is brutally murdered by a local ring of smugglers against the new Queen upon seeing what he should not have. After this, Eleanor decides to be taken to Buckingham palace as a slave to pay off her family's debts to the new monarchy.
