Welcome to a world where every detail of life is about politics. Where greed comes hand in hand with power and wealth. Where a child's life is a pawn in an unending war of chess. Meet the three main families of Cardinia. The Konrad - a powerful family whose demotion from the aristocracy left them with a taste for vengeance and whose blood runs with a creepy unknown kind of curse that skips not a generation. Their trademark blood red hair and blue eyes is a boon and a plague to some. The Cossack - the ruling family whose loving and united facade hide a crimson tale of woe, deception and scandals. Angelic green eyes paired with the darkest black of locks look at you with a mixture of contempt and welcome. The Demetrieff - once ruled their part of the country, remained in the deepest seats of power, rumored to be the wealthiest of lines, their intentions are mysterious and their play for power is equally as dubious. That silver head glimmers with an air of elegance, wealth and power.
