A broken analyst. A former SEAL. One chance to uncover the truth and each other.

NCIS cyber specialist Grace Harlan was once the sharpest mind in military intelligence until a drone strike killed her team, left her scarred inside and out, and made her the convenient scapegoat. Exiled to a quiet NCIS facility in Phoenix, she’s been forced into dead-end work while secretly chasing justice. But when an off-the-books, technically illegal investigation opens a door, Grace is pulled into a high-stakes mission and partnered with the last man she expected.

Nashir “Prophet” Rahim doesn’t remember the events that got his team killed. Medically discharged and haunted by blank spots in his memory, he knows only one thing for certain, something went wrong with his black op mission, and the truth is hidden behind encrypted code, classified silence, and strategic lies. Grace is his last resort, her brilliance pitted against all odds, and the only chance he has to uncover what was stolen from him.

She’s there to hack. He’s there to protect her. But the deeper they dig, the more dangerous the system becomes. Someone or something is manipulating the data. Watching them. Hunting them.

What begins as a covert insertion spirals into a deadly conspiracy with an evolving digital enemy… and a bond between Grace and Nash that neither of them saw coming.
The truth is buried. The risk is personal. The cost…is everything.
