Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A forgotten treaty. An $800 million deal. One law student holds the bomb.For Sarah "Sal" Tanner, the law is a weapon. A competitive, working-class prodigy from the Mississippi Gulf Coast, she has clawed her way into the state's most prestigious firm to protect her family from the financial devastation caused by legal fine print. But when she lands a summer associate position at Landry, Dunn & Finch (LDF), her first task is a "mind-numbingly tedious" title audit for an $800 million resort complex on the last unspoiled tract of coastal land.What she finds buried in the archives isn't a zoning flaw-it's a colossal legal time bomb.The original land grant is traced back to the 1830 Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek, a nation-to-nation covenant. Sal discovers the Choctaw Nation ceded millions of acres conditionally, contingent on the United States government providing perpetual support to the families who remained. For over a century, the federal government intentionally allowed that promise to die from neglect.The breach is material. The condition failed. The core title to the Lighthouse Tract-and possibly the entire state-is now voidable, poised to revert to the Choctaw Nation.When Sal presents her discovery to her firm's most powerful partner, Arnold Vance, he attempts to bury the truth, forcing Sal to choose between a guaranteed career of prestige and the moral fight of a lifetime.Now, armed with a single, unassailable piece of paper, Sal quits her job and teams up with a scrappy small-town lawyer to take on Vance and the entire Mississippi political establishment. But the enemy won't stop at legal motions; they'll use document dumps, political sabotage, and intimidation to protect the three-billion-dollar empire built on a lie.A forgotten covenant. A fight for sovereign justice. A courtroom showdown that could change the map of the South.The land has spoken, but will the jury listen? This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
