Wretched: The Weight of Names(E1)

By Christopher Cornell and Lasheckia Lyons

The wretched shall inherit the earth. But first, they have to survive it.

Wretched is a bold, cinematic saga about wealth, survival, racism, and the unbreakable will of a family that refuses to be owned.

Roseline Etienne is twenty-three years old, razor-sharp, and sitting at the head of a boardroom full of men who want her gone. As the newly appointed Chairwoman of Etienne Enterprises, she has one chance to prove she belongs--and she intends to make it count.

Across the Atlantic, her father Daniel narrowly survives an assassin's bullet in Haiti, only to find himself framed for the murder of a president. With his enemies closing in and his trusted men falling one by one, Daniel and his sons must fight their way off the island--while a storm of betrayal brews from within.

Back in Miami, a quiet young woman named Mai arrives at the Etienne Estate carrying wounds she's never been allowed to speak. What she finds there--in Rebekah Etienne--is something she never expected: a protector with fire in her fists and power in her purse.

Set against the grit of Miami's elite and the volatile beauty of Port-Au-Prince, this is a story about what it truly means to inherit the earth--and what it costs.
