It was supposed to be a simple errand. On a food run into Jalalabad, Captain Liam Daniels, a specialist marksman, ends up captured by a madman. Methodically tortured for three months, Liam loses himself when his SERE training fails him, becoming a dead man walking.
In one last attempt to save his soul, he escapes, but instead of the homecoming he envisioned, he faces charges as a deserter, the result of the machinations of a rogue CIA agent. Evidence of his innocence surfaces, but Liam fears the deadly creature within him. The fear of this creature he had become drives him to beg for isolation from the world, but a secret government organization had different plans.
Tasked with creating the most efficient rescue unit known to man, Liam develops tactics no conventional unit would consider and Shadowhawk is born. The fearsome unit quickly becomes a beacon of hope for captives hidden everywhere.
With dogged determination and the support of his handler, Nora Smith, Liam finds purpose in his new role. As the legend of Shadowhawk grows, Liam makes his way through the aftereffects of hell, finding love and hope.
