The Calamities

Brought to you by Penguin.

A story of secret societies and foul families. Of belonging and exile. Of corruption, corrosion, temptation and seduction.

With wealth, prestige, and influence at their fingertips, five families have embedded themselves into society, but when something threatens to undermine everything they've established, they must find a way to protect the world they've always known.
