Jacob Carter:

I'm a Navy SEAL, trained for war and built for survival. Then Project 157 tears me out of the world I know and into one where neither can save me.

One moment I'm aboard the LCS Engage. The next, I'm trapped in a brutal realm where lions hunt me, my strength is gone, and every fear I thought I'd conquered is waiting to finish me off. In that world, weakness is a death sentence.

And I'm the weakest thing in it.

Somehow, I make it back. But home isn't home anymore.

I wake in military custody surrounded by men who don't see a soldier. They see an anomaly. A specimen. A weapon. My blood has changed, my body is no longer fully my own, and no one will tell me what Project 157 was really meant to do.

But the worst part isn't what they want from me.

It's that the other world still has hold of me.

Something powerful is reaching through the door that opened on the Engage, dragging me back into a fight I'm not ready for—and this time, I may not come back at all.

Sage Emerson:

Temporary medic duty was supposed to be a break. A chance to breathe, to recover, to put some distance between me and the wounds I couldn't save.

Then I step into Project 157.

Nothing about it feels right. Elite operatives on an unarmed ship. Medics staged for mass casualties. Shackles bolted to the wall before the experiment even begins. By the time the Engage goes dark, I know this mission was never what they claimed.

Then they pull Jacob Carter from the ocean.

Keeping him alive should be the hardest part. But the deeper I get into his case, the clearer it becomes that Project 157 was never an accident. The military knows more than it's saying. Whatever came back with Jacob is dangerous. And the same force changing him is reaching for me, too.

If I uncover the truth, I may not survive it.

If I don't, Jacob won't either.
