The Patron

My father was assassinated at the board table. I inherited his title, his enemies, and a deadly war for my son’s life.

My father, head of The Organisation, was poisoned in a room full of his rivals. They called it a heart attack. I know better—it was a declaration of war.

Now I wear his title: Graf Von Zimmer. And I’ve inherited everything that comes with it—his power, his enemies, and his unfinished wars.

My first act was sending my son, Maximilian, to a fortress of a boarding school—safe, or so I hope. My second was facing Abigail’s fury, the champion and mother of my child, who believes I’ve become the monster I swore I’d destroy.

The Organisation’s rules are gone. Assassination is the new language of diplomacy. Every meeting is a battlefield. Every drink could be poison.

To survive, I’ll have to play this game better than my father did. Because in The Organisation, legacy isn’t about bloodline—it’s about who’s still breathing when the boardroom doors close.

Perfect for fans of The Godfather, The Night Manager, and The Hunger Games—loyalty is currency and survival is never guaranteed.
