Destiny’s Children
COALESCENT

George Poole isn’t definite even if his existence has reached a turning element or a useless finish. At forty-five, he's divorced and childless, with a occupation that's going nowhere speedy. Then, whilst his father dies without notice, George stumbles onto a kinfolk mystery: a sister he by no means knew existed. A dual named Rosa, raised in Rome by way of an enigmatic cult. Hoping to discover the solutions to the lacking items of his lifestyles, George units out for the traditional city.

Once in Rome, he learns from Rosa the spell binding tale in their far away ancestor, Regina, an iron-willed genius decided to maintain her family members because the empire disintegrates round her. It was once Regina who based the cult, which has mysteriously survived and prospered lower than the streets of Rome for nearly millennia. The Order, says Rosa, is her genuine family– and, no matter if he doesn’t comprehend it but, it really is George’s relations, too. whilst she takes him into the colossal underground urban that's the Order’s mystery domestic, he feels a robust experience of belonging, but there's something oddly stressful in regards to the girls he meets. they're all so younger and so greatly alike.
