Empire of Billionaire Sins
(2026)(The second book in the Blindfolded Empire series)
A novel by Zoe Sinclair
She survived the arrangement. She built something inside it.
Now the world knows her name — and so does everyone who wanted her to stay invisible.
Six months into the arrangement, Nova Sinclair has done the impossible: she's made the Mara Veil attribution work for her. The art world is paying attention. The four men are paying attention. And the criminal infrastructure that thought it owned her is beginning to understand that the thing it acquired was not what it appeared to be.
Then a New York Times journalist publishes the piece that changes everything.
Nova's real name. Her real work. The specific, devastating truth of who made the paintings the art world has been calling someone else's.
The blindfold comes off — publicly, permanently, and on someone else's timeline.
Now Nova has to decide: does she survive the exposure, or does she use it?
Kade Voss, whose coldness has been failing in specific and measurable ways since the Christie's auction, is forced to confront the specific accounting of what the arrangement cost her — and what he owes. Riven Song's cover dissolves in four minutes on a Thursday night, and what remains is Song Soo-Jin, who has been writing about Nova in Korean since the second week and who is, in the aftermath of the dissolution, learning to be one person. Luca De Marco's locked drawer contains a September document that will take the rest of the series to fully reckon with. Zane Cross has four years of intelligence on a threat that is circling closer, and a midnight message that tells Nova the danger is not over.
It is, in fact, just beginning.
The arrangement has new rules.
