The Etienne family didn't rise from the ashes of Haiti just to blend in-they came to conquer.
Led by Daniel Etienne, a man both feared and revered, the family built a shadow empire beneath the polished surface of Black excellence in 1960s America. His daughter Roseline controls the business. His son Emmanuel handles the blood. And the youngest, Samuel, is being groomed to take it all.
But enemies are closing in, and the line between loyalty and survival gets thinner with every move they make.
