Every empire is eventually put on trial. Maya Sterling is about to learn whether hers can survive the verdict.

Dmitri Volkov has stopped trying to kill Maya Sterling. He has found something better: a secret from the founding of Sterling Holdings that could void every case Maya has ever won, dismantle the twenty-billion-dollar empire her husband died to build, and put Maya herself in the defendant's chair. To destroy her, he doesn't need an assassin. He needs a courtroom.

Cornered, hunted, and forced at last to confront the full truth about Daniel Castellano and the murdered father whose death began it all, Maya faces the choice the entire saga has been driving toward. She can fight the way her husband insisted-with clean evidence, inside the law, even as the law is turned into a weapon against her. Or she can use the empire the way Volkov always feared, and win by becoming the very thing she has spent her life prosecuting.

With allies falling and the empire's soul on the line, Maya assembles one final case against the untouchable, the last indictment her husband never lived to file. Win, and she redeems twenty-two years of sacrifice. Lose, and everything Daniel built dies with her.
