A name that should be dead. A man who isn't who he says he is.
Talon Gray has spent his life disappearing - a ghost trained by an institution that no longer admits he exists. Then a black envelope arrives outside a London office block. No sender. No postmark. Just a single line: If you want to know what happened to your mother, go alone.
The name on the paper inside died years ago. It was his.
What follows drags Talon down through the dark waterways of the city and into Blackwater House - a place where children were given new names, old ones were erased, and the truth has been waiting patiently in the dark for someone to come looking. Every step closer costs him more of the careful distance he's built between who he was and who he became.
Because the people who built Blackwater House never meant for anyone to walk out of it remembering who they were. And Talon is beginning to remember everything.
A relentless espionage thriller about stolen identities, the families we're not meant to survive, and the names buried for a reason.
