Elara, the core architect of a billion-dollar financial system, is excluded from her company’s victory banquet as executives steal her credit.

Refusing to fix the mess for free, she quits and negotiates triple hourly pay as an external consultant to resolve the crisis. The corrupt leaders face punishment, and Elara builds her own respected risk consulting firm.
