In New York, ambition is currency, and Alex Sinclair intends to be rich in it.
Young, brilliant, and relentlessly driven, Alex is building Sinclair Development into a company that can change Manhattan's skyline. The Sinclair Exchange is his defining project, a high-profile development that could make him one of the city's most powerful new players.
But success attracts attention.
As regulators circle, investors apply pressure, and private mistakes become leverage, Alex finds himself caught between the people who helped build his empire and those determined to take it from him. His oldest friend, Cole Bennett, remains loyal, but loyalty is tested when ambition, resentment, and betrayal begin to blur together. Meanwhile, financier David Knight and media visionary Nina Carradine see opportunity in Alex's rise.
Every deal creates a debt. Every favor has a cost. And every person brought close enough to help can become close enough to destroy you.
Gods and Monsters is a dark, character-driven thriller about power, betrayal, and the choices that transform ordinary ambition into something far more dangerous.
