Five years after his fall from power and hard-won transformation in China, Nathaniel Stone returns to Eastbridge. The city that once broke him now offers a path back to the top.
 
In CEO BLUES: The Reckoning (Book Three of the CEO Blues Trilogy), competing factions battle for his return as CEO. Lucrative offers, old allies, former students now in positions of power, and unresolved ghosts from his past force him to confront the ultimate question: what is success worth when reclaiming it demands surrendering the man he has become?
 
Raw, emotionally charged, and unflinching, this powerful conclusion explores ambition, identity, love, and the true cost of power. As boardroom temptations clash with Eastern lessons of humility and balance, Stone must decide who he truly is — before the choice is made for him.
 
Perfect for readers who loved The Fall and Eastern Horizons, this final installment delivers the reckoning every leader eventually faces.
