Nick Glory

Nick Glory has spent his career earning something most people in his world never bother to accumulate - trust. Now he's on the verge of delivering the Independence Complex, a sweeping residential, commercial, and industrial development that would connect an isolated community to the jobs, education, and opportunity that have always existed just out of reach.Then Conrad moves.Not against Nick. Not directly. He inserts himself - arranges a site visit while Nick is away, buries leverage inside a grant application, and begins presenting himself as Nick's equal in a project Nick built from nothing. And because Conrad is the kind of man whose cooperation Nick cannot afford to lose, Nick cannot simply push back.What follows is a quiet war - fought in conference rooms and phone calls and careful silences - over who Nick Glory is willing to become, and what he's no longer able to live with.
