They were never supposed to feel. Now they're the only ones who can't afford not to.
Former Yakuza enforcer Akira Shimosawa thought he buried his past when he joined STARR, a covert paramilitary group operating in the shadows of international law. Mallory Sullivan, a sharp-minded former CIA profiler with a body count and a conscience, was never supposed to cross paths with him again. But when Ashfall's legacy mutates into something worse, STARR's newest unit, Ghost Division, is thrown into a mission that quickly becomes personal.
What begins as infiltration spirals into betrayal. Operatives vanish. Someone inside the system starts rewriting the rules of loyalty, turning human choice into a clean, convincing lie. And the only way to stop a war built on replacement is to burn it from the inside out.
As Akira and Mallory move through global cities and ghost networks, each step draws them deeper into a conspiracy shaped by someone from Akira's past, the woman who trained him to feel nothing at all.
In a world where fear is erased, desire becomes dangerous, and love becomes the last rebellion.
