About the Book
Abraham Meyer built an empire but lost his family along the way. Now, with time running out, the billionaire widower sends his seven adult children on a quest that sounds like a riddle: travel to seven different continents and find sculptures said to embody the purity of love.
None of them take it seriously. They should.
Scattered across the world, the Meyer siblings trade privilege for peril as unfamiliar cultures and their own buried truths strip them to the bone. The bizarre assignment becomes a confrontation with who they've become—and who they still might choose to be. Because the task itself was never the point; sending them into the wild was.
From luxury yachts to unforgiving deserts and ice fields, The Seven is a sweeping family saga that moves like a thriller and cuts like confession. It's not a story about finding sculptures—it's about finding a way back to humanity.

Igor Stefanovic is a visual artist and storyteller, originally from Belgrade, Serbia. He moved to the U.S. in 2009 to join DreamWorks Animation, where he worked as a Character Technical Director on the Kung Fu Panda and Shrek franchises, specializing in the expression and anatomy of digital characters. His artistic journey expanded into painting and sculpture, with exhibitions across the U.S. and Europe.
His large-scale painting The Debate of Seven Brothers merged visual art with narrative, inspiring a broader cinematic concept. That vision evolved into a screenplay, which earned top honors at over a dozen international film festivals and ultimately led him to write The Seven. Igor's work is driven by a deep passion for world cultures and a fascination with how life's challenges shape us: core themes that resonate throughout his storytelling.
