⚔️ Challenge 1: The Blackthorne Dynasty — 4 winners × $500

👑 Challenge 2: Heirs of the Black Dynasty — 5 winners × $1,000

Read the free prequel novella What the Harbor Holds plus all five Heirs novels — The Widow Contract, The Black Crown Vow, The Drago Betrayal, The Moretti Heir, and Queen of the Black Dynasty. Finalists face the live survey on July 23, 2026. Perfect answers = a $1,000 payment sent on camera the same day.

How Winners Are Paid

Prizes are paid by bank wire transfer, initiated live on the video call so you see it happen. Winners provide valid banking details and a completed W-9 (U.S.) before payment. Funds arrive on your bank’s normal schedule — typically the same day to a few business days for domestic wires, longer for international. If a winner cannot receive a wire transfer, an alternative payment method can be arranged on request, which may extend the delivery timeline. Prizes over $600 are reported on Form 1099.
