* * *
One of the world's most prominent heiresses is about to celebrate her 3rd birthday. A well-mannered and very precocious child, she is a delight to her parents and their entire household.
Every year a party of historic proportions is thrown, this year the largest celebration yet. The party, now as before, is being held in the statistically safest country in the world. As many gather from around the globe, however, a series of curious crimes slowly begin to disrupt the regular tranquility.
These crimes have been designed to - among other things - rob this girl of her inheritance, placing enough power to rattle the world into eager and willing hands.
Yet, as a consequence of these crimes, someone else begins stalking the girl...someone with an even darker purpose.
