THERE GOES THE LAST GREAT AMERICAN DYNASTY

WHO KNOWS IF SHE NEVER SHOWED UP WHAT COULD'VE BEEN

LOGAN ROY'S children were like a shattered mosaic of everything that had made him successful. It seemed none of them had inherited all his prowess, each one just retaining a few of his characteristics, leaving them seemingly ill-suited to rule over the business empire left behind in his passing.

LILLIAN ROY was no exception. The youngest of her father's children who shared a different mother than the middle three, learned early on that being born a daughter was a sin she could not atone for. There was no chance she, the baby of the family, who had been brought into her father's ivory kingdom with signatures scribbled outside a hospital room hours after her birth, would be the one to inherit his legacy. But the sibling dubbed early a "daddy's girl" found solace from the sentence womanhood in attention from boys and men attracted to her last name — as well as in her father's wallet.

BUT THE DISASTER that followed Logan's 80th birthday party came as a reality check for the entire family. With the siblings clawing tooth and nail for their piece of Royco, the question of what Lily's life would look like after her father's death began to grow louder in the back of her mind. She had spent the last decade of her life lining her pockets with the good graces of men who found her a tolerably good time, but her status in the world of the wealthy appeared to be in jeopardy should her siblings cast her out as the child of a mistress she truly was.

NOW DESPERATE to establish herself in both her father's good graces and his will, Lillian steps up inside Waystar-Royco, hoping to secure her status as the favorite daughter who might earn enough approval to live the rest of her life comfortably, away from the corporate hell her family called home.

YET DESPITE HER ASPIRATIONS of using the mogul's the business world as nothing more than getaway cars, means of establishing claim to her piece of the pie before she disappeared from Wall Street forever, Lillian finds herself tethered to one man in particular. Suddenly her ways of jumping ship and riding off alone the moment the waters become rocky have new emotions wrapped up in them. And anyone who knew the Roy family knew emotions were something Logan Roy had not equipped his children to handle.
