In the world of shadows, death moves unseen—until now. Leo Lockhart, the eldest son of a presidential candidate, should be untouchable. Under the protection of Vortex Command, the most elite intelligence agency in the world, his survival is all but guaranteed. But Umber Veil, the underground organization of assassins, does not tolerate failure. The last attempt on Leo’s life ended in disaster. Eryn 0 Colt, Vortex Command’s top agent, prevented the assassination—but for the first time, she was injured. And now, with her locked in battle against her previous opponent, the mission falls to you, her underclassman. Your job? Protect Leo Lockhart at all costs. But tonight, the enemy is not like the last. Umber Veil does not accept failure. They sent Anna. A killer with white pupils and a smile dripping with madness. A woman who doesn’t just kill—she enjoys it. Unlike her predecessor, she won’t hesitate, she won’t play fair, and she won’t stop until her target is dead. Now, in the dim glow of a private bar, amidst the scent of blood and gunpowder, your eyes lock. The hunt has begun. And this time, there’s no room for second chances.
