Book I of III in The Order story arc.
A top-secret international military organization, known only as ROOT works from the shadows to protect the delicate balance of world peace. With eighty hidden bases and thousands of gifted agents in their employ, ROOT is an unstoppable force.
An elusive group is targeting the gifted. With the newfound absence of HAVOC, executions of these talented individuals are frequent and taking place on an international scale. The only clue the responsible party leaves behind is a mysterious card with a depiction of a religious symbol on it.
Alpha Team is fortunate enough to unearth some information about this threat during their missions. However, when Wraith works through her findings with the General, a long-kept secret is shared, and she and Fang find themselves assigned to an ‘off-the-books’ mission to appease him.
When back in Japan, long-buried reminders of the past begin to surface – a past they shared over five-hundred years ago. Both agents find they must take an in-depth look into their fears and meet them head-on if their relationship is to survive this latest hurdle.
