From the back cover

At her grandfather's eightieth birthday banquet, Elara Hayes returns to the Hayes family home after more than a decade away. Her sister Eleanor plays the gracious hostess, while her brother Ben, sister Luna, and father Julian make no secret of their contempt. When luxury New Year gifts arrive from Kingston Corporation, Horizon Media, and a research team at Imperial University, the family assumes the presents are for them and claims the credit.

The delivery man insists only the named signatory may sign, and Elara steps forward with her ID. Eleanor tears open the packages and displays the jewelry, wines, and rare tonics to the guests, while Ben, Luna, and Julian dismiss Elara's claim, certain she could never know people of such standing. Old Mr. Hayes demands she kneel and apologize to Eleanor or lose the Hayes name.

As Julian's assistant moves to intervene, Elara refuses to be touched, and the family's certainty begins to strain against the proof of her signature.
