He was a "nobody" who earned a seat at the world’s most powerful table. They didn’t just reject him-they tried to destroy him.
Mark Sterling was the "Golden Boy." A genius with a perfect SAT score and a heart of gold, he threw away a Harvard scholarship for the woman he loved, only to be rewarded with a cold-blooded betrayal. After being sabotaged by the Albright dynasty and left to die in poverty while his enemies lived in luxury, Mark is given the impossible: a second chance.
Waking up in his eighteen-year-old body with the mind of a thirty-two-year-old titan, Mark is no longer the boy who would give you the shirt off his back. He is now the Architect, and he’s returned with a death warrant for every elite family that mistook his kindness for weakness.+1
From the manicured lawns of Northwood to the hallowed, blood-stained halls of the Ivy League, Mark executes a relentless hostile takeover. Armed with future knowledge and a lethal trading algorithm, he begins a scholastic siege to dismantle the "Old Money" fortresses that keep the world in a stranglehold.
The Albrights thought they buried him. The Thorne legacy thought they were untouchable. They were all wrong.
In a world where reputation is the only currency and power is the only law, the "outsider" is no longer knocking at the gates-he’s tearing them down. Mark Sterling isn’t going to Harvard to get a degree; he’s going to take the keys to the kingdom.
Blood & Ivy is a high-stakes, uncompromising revenge thriller for anyone who has ever been overlooked by the elite and lived to tell the tale.
