While investigating a series of mysterious murders, Nate uncovers dark
secrets that threaten to reveal the true nature of the Wildenstern
family
The British Empire is no longer the authority it once was. Instead, it's
controlled by private business organizations--the most powerful of which
is Ireland's ruthless Wildenstern family. Eighteen-year-old Nathaniel
Wildenstern has given up his dreams of travel and adventure to devote
himself to being his brother Berto's head of security. With the help of
his wife, Daisy, Berto wants to change the barbaric ways of the clan.
But there are many among the Wildensterns who like things the way they
are, and will resort to whatever devious methods necessary to keep them
that way.
Meanwhile, the burned bodies of women are appearing around Dublin. When
a connection to the Wildenstern family is discovered, Nate, Daisy, and
Nate's sister Tatiana decide to investigate. Soon they are digging into
shadowy societies and dark family secrets that date back to the origin
of the part-animal, part-machine enigmals. And what the young
Wildensterns find could shed light on the savage nature of their family
itself.
