Behind the Rage

Where it all began. And how it all went wrong.

Behind the Rage is the prequel to Between the Rage & Grace, tracing three decades of history between two unforgettable women—Mary Magdalene Latrull and Vivian Cature.

They meet as girls at Saint Anthony's Orphanage.

One quiet.

One radiant.

One watchful.

One adored.

Their bond is immediate and unbreakable—until it isn't.

What begins as friendship deepens into dependence, rivalry, and something far more dangerous when love enters the picture. As the girls grow into women, ambition and insecurity twist their devotion into competition. Secrets are kept. Loyalties are tested. And when magic is introduced into a fragile love triangle, the consequences ripple across decades.

Mary retreats into silence and shadow.

Vivian rises—brilliant, charismatic, and unwilling to lose.

But some vows are never meant to be spoken.

Some desires should never be fed.

And when envy is mixed with power, friendship does not simply fracture—

It mutates.

Behind the Rage reveals the origins of a feud fueled by love, betrayal, blood, and the desperate need to win at any cost.

Because before there was destiny,

there was choice.

And before there was grace,

there was rage.
