Inherited evil (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798264433955)

Winter's life is a constant struggle, defined by the cracked sidewalks of her impoverished neighborhood and the gnawing hunger that her small family can never quite satiate. She finds solace and a glimmer of hope in the grand, sweeping histories she reads at the local library, dreaming of a life beyond her own. But a cryptic letter, sealed with an ornate family crest, shatters her mundane existence.

She learns she is the sole heir to the formidable House of Vallis, a family of immense wealth and influence. Just as she begins to imagine a life free of hardship, the true nature of her inheritance is revealed. The Vallis fortune was built on a dark and insidious legacy-a bloodline cursed by a sinister power, passed down through generations. Winter's ancestors were not just cunning magnates; they were the architects of untold suffering, their empire fueled by a terrible, ancient evil. Now, that malevolent force resides within her, dormant but waiting to be awakened. Winter must confront the horrifying truth of her lineage: the only way to claim her birthright is to embrace the very evil she has inherited, or risk its destructive power consuming her and everyone she holds dear.
