Nate Wildenstern¿s brother has been killed, and the finger is
pointed at him . . . After nearly two years, eighteen-year-old Nate
returns home to the family empire ruled by his father ¿ the
ruthless Wildenstern Patriarch. But Nate¿s life is soon shattered
by his brother¿s death, and the Rules of Ascension, allowing the
assassination of one male family member by another, means he¿s
being blamed. He knows that he is not the murderer, but who is?
With the aid of his troublesome sister-in-law, Daisy, and his
cousin Gerald, he means to find out. But when the victims of the
family¿s tyrannical regime choose the funeral to seek their
revenge, they accidentally uncover the bodies of some ancient
Wildenstern ancestors, one of whom bears a Patriarch¿s ring. The
lives of Nate and his family are about to take a strange and
horrifying turn . . .
