Synopsis
Some missions start with a firefight. Others begin with a message that changes everything. When a private protection team finds themselves cornered and outnumbered, their last call for help gets picked up by Alex Hawke and his team. The message is bleak—cut off from support, no chance of evacuation. Guardian and her crew have a new mission: prevent a desperate rescue from becoming a tragedy… or worse. And this is one fight Shepherd Security Services won’t back away from. But just as the smoke clears, another order comes down the line—this one from the top. Alex is to report to the Ninhar Confederation Navy Headquarters on Torvalin. Immediately. For the first time, he’ll step into the beating heart of the Confederation’s power. And whatever awaits him there… wasn’t in the briefing. Old loyalties. New politics. And a summons that could rewrite everything. Torvalin is the turning point for Shepherd Security Services—a tale of duty, diplomacy, and the consequences of becoming a symbol.
