A neurodivergent marksman from Oildale, who has spent his life**
mastering stillness — seeing the world in angles, patience, and the
discipline that quieted the noise in his mind.
Then a tragedy befalls his family. As he follows the rabbit down the
rabbit hole, a grieving senator finds him. Powerful, controlled, and
driven by a loss he will never name, he recruits Darius to stop a
Chinese-engineered weapon built to be invisible — one virus cloaked
within another, aimed at the unborn.
His target is a woman in an Afghan mountain village. The clock is
already running.
But the closer Darius gets, the less certain the shot becomes. Between
the man who shaped him into a weapon and the life waiting in his
crosshairs, Darius must decide what he truly is — and whether the
hardest shot a marksman ever faces is the one he chooses not to take.
