The Benefactor

The Benefactor

He never asks for anything in return. That's what makes it dangerous.

Everyone in the room has taken something from him — money, time, a favor that quietly changed the shape of their life. Nobody can say when the ledger started. Nobody is sure it exists. But something in the way he watches people accept his generosity suggests he is very good at arithmetic.

The gifts are real. The gratitude is real. The question is what he's been building with it.

The Benefactor is part of The Chianti Chronicles — fiction set inside the SYNTHESIS universe. Full story available to Sovereign Threshold members.
