'For Project GATE recruits, success is everything, failure is death.

'After Marina washes out of training, she’s sent for termination. But when a rebellion rises, she escapes to join Olesya on the icy coast of the Baltic Sea. Here, she finds the popularity and power of a violent anti-genetics movement spreading like wildfire. They’re called Purity, and they want people like Marina to burn.

'While Marina and Olesya are ensnared in a battle against Purity zealots, another rebel, Sophia, discovers more about Project GATE than she bargained for: every recruit carries a genetic kill switch, and someone is planning to use it.

'Now it’s a race against time. Marina and Olesya must overcome impossible odds and Sophia must fight to save her fellow operatives from their own bodies. Success is everything, failure is death.'

'Covert operatives are disappearing, and nobody knows why.

'But Olesya will put everything on the line to find out. After narrowly escaping a subway explosion she was assigned to prevent, she is too late to stop unknown assailants kidnapping her best friend.

'Forced away from her hunt by the Directorate, Olesya is exiled to the frozen borderlands of Kaliningrad, where she discovers a new and deadly threat that could destroy them all.

'Except Olesya isn’t the only one searching for answers. Rogue operatives Damien and Nasira are caught in a violent raid on a Colombian research facility. They manage to slip away unscathed, realizing the answers they seek lie hidden inside a Las Vegas military base. Getting in will be easy, but getting out will be near impossible now that they’re atop the U.S. Most Wanted Terrorists list.'

'Sophia was once the Fifth Column’s most dangerous weapon.

'Now she’s their greatest threat.

'Intercepting Fifth Column operatives before they can complete their deadly missions, Sophia is deprogramming them and turning them against their masters. But a powerful, new type of operative tips the balance against her, and she barely escapes with her life.

'The rules of engagement have changed, and Sophia is forced onto a collision course with the one person who will save her or kill her—Olesya.

'They’ve crossed paths once before. This time, only one will walk away.'

Olesya faces her biggest threat yet—a devastating attack that will shatter Europe.

As the Purity Party celebrate their victory with a march through Wrocław, Olesya learns of a covert death squad lying in wait, poised to slaughter thousands.

Their objective is simple: blame Olesya’s team for the attack and rally support for Purity. To thwart their plan, Olesya must call on the last person she wants to ask for help—Sophia.

Together, they discover the death squad is just a diversion from a larger attack—a powerful Russian weapon that will incinerate Wrocław, killing millions. With the stakes now higher than ever before, Olesya and Sophia have twenty-five minutes to stop the weapon before it’s too late.

Covert operatives are disappearing, and nobody knows why.

But one woman is willing to put her life on the line to find out.

After narrowly escaping a subway explosion she was assigned to prevent, Olesya is too late to stop unknown assailants kidnapping her best friend. Forced away from her hunt by the Directorate, she is exiled to the frozen borderlands of Kaliningrad, where she discovers a new and deadly threat that could destroy them all.

But Olesya isn’t the only one searching for answers. Rogue operatives Damien and Nasira are caught in a violent raid on a Colombian research facility. They manage to slip away unscathed, realizing the answers they seek lie hidden inside a Las Vegas military base. Getting in will be easy, but getting out will be somewhat challenging, given they’re now high on the U.S. Most Wanted Terrorists list.

Olesya has always been different.

To most, she was an ordinary girl from post-Soviet Russia. But to the covert agency that recruited her she was something much more. The agency is a collector of genetic anomalies; forging gifted children into their most deadly weapon: black operatives.

Seven years later, Olesya leads a team of hunters on a dangerous assignment. Her targets are black operatives: elusive, genetically enhanced, and unstoppable. From the bio-clinics of Brazil to the icy borderlands of Kaliningrad, from the catacombs of Lithuania to the citadel of occupied Prague, Olesya is at the heart of a war against a powerful, malevolent organization that wants total control.

But as operatives and hunters start to vanish, Olesya discovers they aren’t the only players in this deadly game …
