The Story

Autumn Sterling returns to The Sterling Pavilion to face a horrific reality. Her daughter lies dead at the hands of her son-in-law, Damian Draven, while her granddaughter suffers brutal abuse from his son, Leo. Consumed by fury, the Master of The Inkstone Sect vows to exact her revenge. Jocelyn Shaw, Leo’s mother, attempts to silence the outrage by offering a Gilded Kingfisher Hairpin. Autumn instantly recognizes the item as a gift from her deceased daughter. This discovery reveals Jocelyn and Leo as Damian’s mistress and illegitimate child. The matriarch rejects the payment entirely. She remains determined to destroy them all.
