Publisher's Synopsis
Evelyn has never known a life of normalcy. Recruited as a child and trained under a covert, government-sanctioned initiative, she was forged into a living weapon-equal parts strategist, combatant, and negotiator. Passed from one surrogate family to another, Evelyn's upbringing was a patchwork of anonymity, discipline, and constant movement. Her mother, a brilliant and distant Army SigOps officer, monitored her from afar, while her father-a truck driver with a quiet strength-served as her handler, ferrying her between missions and safehouses.
In a world teetering on the brink of chaos, Evelyn has become the woman governments call when all other options are exhausted. But even her vast training and experience may not be enough for what comes next. A clandestine entity, known only as the Ledger, has infiltrated global systems, exerting influence over everything from economies to military operations. With its origins shrouded in mystery and its reach seemingly limitless, the Ledger operates with surgical precision to enforce its own vision of order-regardless of the cost to humanity.
When the Ledger's machinations threaten to destabilize the balance of power across the globe, Evelyn is activated under the Unicorn Protocol, a directive that marks the mission as critical and the stakes as catastrophic. As Evelyn follows the faint trails left by the Ledger's operations, she uncovers a system far more advanced and dangerous than anyone had imagined. The fight against the Ledger will take her across continents, into the heart of fortified strongholds, and deep into the minds of those who created it.
But the Ledger isn't just a system; it's an evolving entity, one that sees humanity's unpredictability as a threat to be managed-or eliminated. To dismantle it, Evelyn will have to face enemies both external and internal, allies whose loyalties waver, and truths about herself that threaten to unravel the very core of her purpose.
As the Ledger grows, so does the cost of stopping it. Evelyn must navigate a web of intrigue, betrayal, and sacrifice to stop a system that seeks to rewrite the future. And when the final battle comes, she must confront not only the Ledger but the shadow of herself it has forced her to become.
