Making A Billion Was Your First Mistake

What if earning a billion dollars didn't make you all-powerful?

It made you prey.

When Congress passes the Capped Earnings Act, every successful entrepreneur suddenly faces a terrifying new reality: the moment your net worth hits one billion dollars, you are forbidden-by law-to earn another dime. No loopholes. No hidden accounts. No second chances.

For rising tech genius and inventor Kyrel Kade, the law should have been a theoretical problem.

Until the morning he unexpectedly reaches a billion- long before he had planned.

Within hours of becoming the youngest billionaire ever, Kyrel's world is stolen from him. Now Kyrel is trapped and the government wants to make an example of him. His only allies? A cynical investigative journalist who sees patterns everyone else misses and Kyrel's wife D'Andra who makes sense of the patterns.

As his world dissolves around him, Kade discovers a truth more dangerous than the law itself: Someone is manipulating the entire system-and that someone wants him silenced.

To survive, Kade must outmaneuver an unseen enemy that rewrites the rules of power in real time; while living under a legal regime designed to ensure he has nothing left to fight with.

Because in the new economy, hitting a billion isn't the end of the game.

It's the beginning of the hunt.
