Are you old enough for a Sangria? Then you are old enough for this grisly novel about multiple stories of trauma and survival. Merlot Jupiter is he a creation or is he an author? James Evergreen is the ruler of the Intermarium, and he has two children: Ethan from his wife Leslie and Lolita from Charlotte, a woman with whom he had an affair. Who will become the next ruler of Intermarium, a third-world country that is already crippled by enormous amounts of debt? Dan is from Intermarium, drafted into war, and his worst fear is that his son will follow the same fate as him.

Kacy entered Lolita's bedroom holding onto Abby's leash. Lolita lay on her bed in her pink housecoat, watching the news on the television.


"Reene Clinton is revoking visas issued to Cascadians and Sumerians in Catwerp." The news reporter said.


The reporter sat behind her anchor desk. "Renee Clinton is blaming immigration for the increase in crime in Catwerp. She says denying passport holders from high-risk countries will make the country safer."


"No, she's revoking their visas because she's racist!" Kacy snapped. 


Lolita grabbed the television remote from the bedside table to turn it off. "Why're you in my bedroom?" She asked icily. 


 Kacy quivered. "I'm returning Abby to you."


 Lolita raised a hand. "Next time, knock. Now get out—and mop the corridor."


 Kacy scurried out of Lolita's bedroom.
