Rick James grew up believing his mother's death was a tragic accident and his family's fractured past was simply the price of privilege. But as long-buried truths begin to surface, he discovers that the empire built by the powerful James and Park families hides decades of betrayal, abuse, corruption, and murder. Bound by blood yet divided by loyalty, Rick, Melodie, Dru and Lee, and the people they trust must unravel a conspiracy that reaches from family boardrooms to international corporations. Every revelation exposes another lie, every ally carries scars of the past, and every step toward the truth places them in greater danger. In a world where love and loyalty collide with greed and ambition, the greatest battle isn't for wealth, it's for the family that survived long enough to fight back. Some castles protect the people inside. Others become prisons.
