Jaded, thy name is Regina Regal. Enduring a trial by fire, she will be Queened. Regina Regal wavers between apathetic and destructive because she's numb inside and out. Lost in a sea of ennui, she goes through the motions of everyday life but never truly lives. Happiness is a foreign concept. In the absence of numbness is pain- a pain so agonizing she would rather stick her head in the sand than feel the devastating loss of the father of her children. Thrust from Misery Castle, not only losing Grant, she leaves her first born behind. In the ashes of her despair, Regina creates a family for her daughter. But as her eyes open wide, she realizes everything is built on an illusion. Betrayed. Abandoned. Grieving yet filled with guilt, Regina finally comes to the realization that she has been toyed with as a pawn in a sadistic game Dominion's founders have played since before she ever set foot into Hillbrook. Every move she has made has been orchestrated by the very people she has grown to love and trust. Restraint draws Regina into a whole new world- one that has been at her fingertips but she was too blind to see. Forced with the task to choose between love and self-respect, Regina learns how if you feel empowered while you're on your knees, no one can tear you down when you're standing firmly on your own two feet.
