Bound by purpose. Haunted by failure. He stands on the edge of ruin.

Micah Mercer is alone. He’s lost his job. He hasn’t spoken to his wife in months. His friends tread carefully around him. All because an obsession has overtaken him: saving the next child from a life of slavery. Mercer leverages his past life as a CIA paramilitary officer and Army Ranger to rescue those in desperate need, but, working alone, his expertise can only take him so far.

Shocked by the impending fall of Kabul, Mercer pulls whatever strings he has left to get to Afghanistan to extract his former Ranger platoon interpreter and his family. But when a rogue paramilitary organization abducts Altair’s daughter, Mercer won’t stop until he finds her and puts down those responsible.

But there is something far more sinister at play. Mercer learns this is not a random kidnapping and that Aya is one of many Pashtun girls taken to satisfy the perverse delight of the international elite.

From Taliban-infested Kabul to a private island in the Caribbean, Mercer must wage a war no one will acknowledge to be the savior Aya desperately needs. As the stakes climb higher and higher, Mercer fights not only for Aya’s future, but for his own.
