The Sovereign Debt

The world didn't end with a bang, it ended with a Merger.
Seven years ago, Alexander Thorne was the most powerful man on Earth-until the High Council of the Merged World liquidated his assets, erased his name, and exiled him to a dead island in the Pacific. They thought they had neutralized a threat. They didn't realize they had just created a vacuum.

But Alexander didn't go alone. He took his wife, a fallen Succubus, and a secret that would make the gods tremble: his newborn son, Lysander.

Now, the debt has come due.

Lysander is no longer a child. He is a walking variable, a "Shadow King" who can reincorporate the souls of the fallen into a private army of obsidian ghosts. As the Council's flagship looms over the horizon to finish the job, Alexander must use his corporate genius and Lysander must use his terrifying new powers to perform the ultimate hostile takeover.

In a world where magic is currency and souls are collateral, the House of Thorne is back. And they aren't just looking for revenge-they're looking for the principal, the interest, and the entire kingdom.
