THEY HUNTED A LEGEND. THEY WOKE A WAR.
Everyone knows the myth of Achilles - the invincible warrior felled by a single weakness. But the truth is more dangerous: two suits of armor survived him.
One was forged by a god.
One was stained by mortal blood.
When ruthless collector Archibald Sinclair announces he has found Achilles' divine armor, the world sees a spectacle. The Order of the Black Sun sees an extinction-level threat.
David Purdue, Dr. Nina Gould and their team are thrown into a brutal race against Gemma Sabol, the world's most elusive thief, and her towering, armored enforcer, Rupert. From a hidden Greek homestead guarding Achilles' last descendants to the molten deathtraps inside Mount Etna - said to be the forge of Hephaestus himself - every step is a test of nerve, loyalty and sheer survival.
Lightning storms. Flooded tunnels. Murder. By the time Rupert claims his first victim, the Order realizes the worst: the race was never about who would win, only about who would bleed.
Sinclair has orchestrated everything. Using the Order as expendable field agents, he now moves to erase them and claim both legendary suits for himself. In a final, desperate showdown, Purdue must don Achilles' mortal armor and duel a man encased head to toe in the god-forged suit, a man who believes himself untouchable.
Even victory comes with a terrible price. In the chaos, the merciless Sariyah Kesh breaks Gemma Sabol's infamous father - the master thief known as The Ghast - out of prison. Now a vengeful dynasty of thieves is unleashed, and the Order of the Black Sun has just become their favorite target.
Dive into this explosive new adventure in the Order of the Black Sun series - where ancient legends don steel, and even gods may not be strong enough to save you.
