Summary
Introducing the Remington Family – rich and powerful with a deep, dark secret. Alfred, the patriarch, was granted the honour of the Duke of Remington when fighting alongside King George II. His ability to survive wars gave him power. But age comes to all of us - even the Unkind - and he is ready to pass on his leadership to his eldest daughter, Constance. She has prepared her whole life for the ritual to make her queen. But her sister's jealousy and greed threaten the very fibre of their existence. No one knows when the Vikings initially reached Newfoundland's shores, but Alfred's family took the treacherous journey in 1452 searching for new lands. A violent storm crashed their vessel on the rocks as they reached land. A small group of shapeshifters, the Fengi, lived nearby in the caves. They saved the survivors of the wreck. Creating a pact, they grew stronger. Rituals were common among the Vikings who protected the Fengi—years passed. No one could penetrate their powerful settlement. The harsh winters pushed them deep into caves inhabited by bats. Using them for sustenance and ceremonial purposes, they began experimenting with the blood of their enemies and stumbling on a potent concoction; they created a super race. The Fengi and the Vikings vowed to keep each other's secrets and remain faithful allies. Humans were spreading from Europe and seeing the benefits of integrating with the human race; some settlement members spread around the world, amassing fortunes and favours from the aristocracy and the wealthy. But what price will they pay to keep their fountain of youth flowing? Some will fear them feeding from the blood of humans, but many who do not know their secret will revere their bravery, class, and influence. Are they good or evil? You decide.....
