Amelia chases fortune, discovers emptiness, envy destroys everything.
At their mother's funeral, the Morse sisters draw lots: one stays, one follows their grandmother. Amelia grabs the chance, certain prosperity waits ahead. Instead, she spends years in quiet obscurity. Then news arrives — Kate has wed into the Warren dynasty, stepping into luxury and influence. The contrast gnaws at Amelia until resentment curdles into murderous intent, driving her to slaughter her sister and then herself.
