"Truth be told, lies are easier to tell."
The Everkings and the Piersons built their billion-dollar dynasties on power, prestige, and unity. Two families that flourished apart-now entangled once more by the lies of the past.
When the formidable Everking matriarch, Katherine Alona Everking, passes away, her final will fractures the individual harmonies of the two families. She leaves behind her vast fortune not only to her direct family-but also to two members of the Pierson family- unexpected figures tied to a forced-forgotten chapter of the Everking past, and to a mysterious heir no one can name.
With billions at stake and the legacies of the Everkings and Piersons on the line, comes unraveling the long-buried secrets, whispers of betrayal and untold histories, that lead them down a twisting path through a generation of the two families of carefully guarded lies.
The closer they get to the truth, the more they realizes: some legacies were built to deceive-and some lies run in the blood.
