Samuel Knight has lived his whole life in the shadow of his father—a powerful, world-renowned businessman whose influence touches every corner of the globe. But when Sam is summoned to a secluded, opulent retreat alongside nine other sons of the global elite, he realizes this isn’t just another networking weekend. It’s an initiation. Thrust into the hidden world of an ancient secret society, Sam must navigate a gauntlet of rituals, rivalries, and cryptic traditions. As he digs deeper, long-buried truths about his family come to the surface, revelations that challenge everything he thought he knew about power, purpose, and the people pulling the strings. In a world where loyalty can be deadly and legacy is written in the shadows, Sam must decide if he has what it takes to earn his place. . . before someone else decides for him.

STEVEN VERRILLI has always been fascinated by history and how hidden power dynamics shape the world across vast time frames, steered by individuals who wield influence from the shadows. His experiences at boarding school and on elite-level hockey teams also gave him firsthand insight into how boys forge bonds through conflict and cooperation. Completing this story became a priority after his cancer diagnosis; instilling a clear sense of urgency and new perspective on life’s impermanence. Based in Montreal, Quebec, when Steven isn’t writing fiction, he works in tech, writes music and enjoys all sorts of athletic pursuits.
