This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
A former assassin. A brilliant breacher. A conspiracy that threatens everything they love.
MALCON
Taken by the Assassins' Guild as a child, Malcon Stone survived through stealth, discipline, and emotional control. Years after escaping the Guild, he serves Serengeti Security-Privilege as one of its most trusted operatives, handling the dangerous assignments that secure the cartel, yet can never be acknowledged.
Loyalty to Serengeti gave him purpose. Rebecca Serengeti gave him something far more dangerous to a man like him: someone to lose.
When evidence from a recent act of sabotage begins connecting seemingly unrelated events, Malcon is drawn into a deadly web of black commerce, hidden enemies, and secrets buried deep within the Thirteen Systems. To protect the people he loves, he may have to become the monster he once escaped.
REBECCA
Sold into academic apprenticeship as a child, Rebecca survived exploitation through intelligence, determination, and an extraordinary gift for breaching secure archives. She learned at an early age that pretty things are easily discarded and love is a fable. Now a protege of Serengeti Security-Privilege, she uses information as skillfully as Malcon uses violence.
For years, Malcon remained carefully out of reach, a dangerous man who hid himself behind discipline and shadows. Beneath his restraint, Rebecca discovered fierce loyalty, quiet devotion, and a man willing to risk everything for those under his protection.
As the investigation takes them into the lawless Hebrides, Rebecca must confront the one thing she has feared all her life: trusting someone enough to let them fight for her.
As they search for the truth buried beneath layers of deceit, Malcon and Rebecca discover that some enemies are willing to wait years to finish what they started.
