23-year-old Ellie Graham-Mackintosh thought she had it going, and, as the firstborn, assumed to be necessarily headed towards the continuing of a line of success after success, with the prospect of inheriting the great bookbinding and typesetting company owned by her father, Edmund Graham. Life beggs to differ. Ellie discovers just how deeply her father's empire and influence truly runs – how the company is but a cover – what is truly to be done behind closed doors. Deals behind the deals; blood-binding red. With the help of her other father the sweet Finlay Mackintosh, her younger brother Alasdair, her best friend Mandy Figueroa, and her crow Poe, she refuses the fate Edmund had in store for her, more out of pride than out of an actual, steady moral code; she and her rebelry then get her thrown into a journey where she finally sees the thin line between the blood that flows through one's veins, the blood in the hands of the lucky few, and the blood that stains a name and its money. She feels her identity shattered the way a lie always does; but with it, comes a promise of a new one – an identity not of business, finances, exploitation and lies, but of culture, family, and the cherishing of one's land in a value, emotional, beyond financial.
