bound in Duty: Prequel to shadow

Five men. One classified unit. A mission already compromised before it begins.When intelligence analyst Ethan Cole is assigned to a newly formed off-the-books military unit, he expects danger. What he doesn't expect is the team itself.Webb - the quiet commander who sees more than he says. Calder - immovable, watchful, and far more perceptive than anyone realises. Reyes - precise, controlled, carrying losses he rarely speaks about. Axle - chaotic, sharp-minded, and impossible to underestimate.Individually, they are some of the most capable operatives the Army has ever assembled.Together, they are something no one fully anticipated.As the unit prepares for its first major operation - a mission centred on a high-altitude compound that officially doesn't exist, the cracks in the briefing begin to show. Surveillance where there shouldn't be any. Information deliberately withheld. A chain of command that already knows more than it admits.And somewhere behind it all: an empty sixth seat no one has been able to fill.What begins as an assessment quickly becomes something far more dangerous. Not just because of the mission ahead, but because trust between soldiers can become its own kind of liability. The closer the unit grows, the more each man becomes willing to risk for the others and the more devastating the cost of failure becomes.Bound in Duty is a character-driven military suspense novel about loyalty, brotherhood, psychological cost, and the people who become essential before anyone realises it's happened.
