Book Five in the Daughters of Empire Series

History's greatest heist wasn't stealing gold. It was rewriting the books.

When Sania cracks a supposedly impenetrable financial database, she doesn't find money trails—she finds ghosts. Billions in colonial-era debt still being collected from nations that won their independence decades ago, funneled through shadow banks to private accounts.

The evidence: thousands of documents with impossible signatures, backdated contracts, and loan terms that were never agreed to.

Someone has been forging history itself. And they're willing to kill to keep it buried.

Within hours of the discovery, the agency's secure servers are breached. Digital evidence vanishes. A veteran archivist is found dead in London, his fingertips burned to prevent identification. The message is clear: some papers were never meant to be seen.

Plunged into a world where the most dangerous weapons are notarized contracts and amended clauses, the team splits up to follow paper trails that span centuries:

Sania infiltrates the world's most secretive data haven in Switzerland, where bankers protect digital vaults containing colonial-era financial secrets—and encounters an enigmatic hacker with an agenda of their own.

Inaya poses as a rare document authenticator, gaining access to private collections of "lost" treaties that reveal systematic plunder disguised as legitimate trade agreements.

Adisa hunts down the last surviving witnesses to massive document shredding operations from the dying days of empire, placing her on a collision course with assassins tasked with silencing the final links to the past.

As they piece together the fragments, a staggering conspiracy emerges: a network of financial architects who've spent decades falsifying the historical record, manipulating markets, and engineering debt crises to maintain control over former colonies.

The team's most powerful enemies yet don't carry guns—they carry briefcases. And they've just realized their paper empire is about to collapse.

THE PAPER EMPIRE delivers white-knuckle tension and intricate conspiracy in a heart-racing thriller where the most dangerous battles are fought with signatures instead of bullets. For readers who love the intellectual chess matches of LE CARRÉ combined with the adrenaline rush of JASON BOURNE.

Some debts are written in blood. Some are written in invisible ink. Both will come due.
