Story premise
On his nineteenth birthday, Jonah Mercer is working at a South Florida hotel when armed men try to abduct Prince Zayd. His intervention draws the attention of the Black Laurel, a hidden institution tied to his missing father. Nine years earlier, Jacob Mercer vanished. Within the Laurel, he is remembered as Nightowl, an operator whose obligations did not disappear with him. Jonah’s search for answers draws him toward a world of operators, protected families and Sanctuaries, bound by sovereign guarantees and old promises. Finding his father’s history means confronting the loyalties that come with it.
