About the Book
Some legacies are inherited. Others are built to kill.
Jack Noble follows a trail of bodies into the Montana high plains and finds something worse than a conspiracy: a private program designed to turn young recruits into weapons. Its leader knows Jack’s past. Knows his methods. And when Jack sees an old list from 1994 placed beside a new one, the message is unmistakable.
Ava is on that new list.
Inside the wire, she has learned to survive every test, every punishment, every lie dressed up as training. But the margins beside her name predict who gets hurt, who disappears, and who dies. The program doesn’t just want obedience. It wants proof that Jack Noble’s brutal inheritance can be passed on.
Cut off from help, watched by enemies, and surrounded by recruits who may betray her to stay alive, Ava must decide whether survival is enough.
Jack has spent his life escaping what made him dangerous.
Now he has to walk back into it to save the one person being shaped to become his heir.
