Publisher's Synopsis
Power doesn't die-it changes hands.
Leo Carter thought he had escaped. He had outplayed The Syndicate, dismantled its empire, and walked away with the ultimate leverage. But secrets that powerful don't just disappear. They create shadows-shadows that stretch across continents, controlled by men who refuse to lose.
Now, someone new is watching him.
A cryptic message arrives. "You won. But the game isn't over." The last remnants of The Syndicate are reforming, this time under Lucien Duvall, a ruthless financier with influence buried deep in the world's most powerful institutions. He's not just rebuilding The Syndicate-he's reinventing it. Stronger. Smarter. Unstoppable. And Duvall doesn't just want power. He wants Leo.
But Duvall isn't Leo's only problem. Nina Volkov is back. The woman who betrayed him once now holds the key to everything. She doesn't want revenge. She wants control. And she's willing to burn everything in her path to take it.
A Global Chase Through Shadows
From the neon-drenched streets of Tokyo to the underground vaults of Zurich, the rain-soaked alleys of Paris to the war-torn landscapes of Moscow, Leo is running out of time-and running out of allies. Every government agency, every black-market assassin, every crime syndicate with a grudge wants a piece of him.
His options are clear:
- Disappear. Erase his name, his past, and his power forever.
- Or fight back. Take down The Syndicate's last remaining leaders and finish the job he started.
But power like this doesn't just disappear. It seduces. It tempts. It corrupts.
Jace, his hacker, warns him: "You could end this right now, Leo. Or you could take it."
The Black Fox, the deadliest assassin alive, delivers a final warning: "You're not just fighting criminals. You're fighting the architects of the world."
And Nina? She offers him one last choice-stand beside her, or be eliminated.
The Ultimate Betrayal. The Ultimate Heist. The Ultimate War.
This isn't just about taking down a crime syndicate.
This is about who controls the world.
The last Syndicate stronghold is in Dubai, a fortress housing something more dangerous than money-a ledger that could destroy the balance of global power. Governments, corporations, intelligence agencies-everyone is implicated. Whoever controls it doesn't just control the past. They control the future.
Leo and his team plan one last heist-not for wealth, but for vengeance. Infiltrating the most secure facility on the planet, surrounded by enemies on all sides, knowing that one final betrayal is waiting in the dark.
Because Nina isn't just playing the game.
She's trying to win it.
And when the moment comes, Leo will face the ultimate question:
Burn it all down, or take the throne?
