Anastasia Bain's debut novel follows two women who discover that in New York, the most valuable currency isn't money - it's information.
NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / September 9, 2026 / What happens when two women living far outside the traditional world of Wall Street gain access to the kind of information that can change their financial futures?
Author Anastasia Bain explores that question in Seeking Alpha, a new female-driven novel set against the collision of New York nightlife, Wall Street ambition and the extraordinary SPAC investment boom. The novel will be available for purchase beginning September 8, 2026, in paperback, hardcover and e-book formats.
Set entirely in New York City, Seeking Alpha follows Olga and Ariana, two women navigating the high-stakes world of upscale adult entertainment, where powerful men, enormous wealth and closely guarded information intersect after midnight.
When a conversation involving a potentially lucrative Wall Street opportunity reaches them, the women recognize something others might overlook: information can create access, and access can change a life.
Their decision pulls them into the volatile world of SPAC investing, where extraordinary opportunity comes with extraordinary risk.
But Seeking Alpha ultimately goes beyond finance.
The novel explores ambition, immigration, abusive relationships, female friendship and the struggle to stop seeing oneself as a victim of circumstances. As Olga and Ariana navigate money, relationships and betrayal, each must decide what independence - financial and otherwise - actually means.
"In finance, seeking alpha means trying to outperform the market," said Bain. "But while writing the book, alpha began to mean something much bigger to me. It became about recognizing your own value, adapting when circumstances change and becoming the strongest and most authentic version of yourself."
The novel also turns the traditional rescue fantasy on its head. Rather than waiting for wealth, status or a powerful man to provide security, its female characters learn that their greatest assets may be their intelligence, resilience and loyalty to one another.
Against the backdrop of one of the most unusual periods in modern markets, Seeking Alpha asks a distinctly contemporary question: When the world changes, do you remain defined by what happened to you - or learn how to use the new reality to your advantage?
