Shadow PROTOCOL - THE MUMMY FILES: A Ward Novel

He was the sharpest glass on the floor. Jace Miller survived the underground fighting rings on rage and reflex alone. But when a government handler pulls him out of a holding cell and into a classified program called the Shadow Ward, he discovers that everything he thought made him dangerous was just the raw material. Commander Elena doesn't break recruits. She rebuilds them - precisely, systematically, and without apology. Under her instruction, Jace is stripped of every habit, every instinct, and every defense the streets gave him, and remade into something the world has no name for. But as the missions grow darker and the bond between handler and recruit deepens into something neither of them has a word for, a detective named Thorne begins pulling on a single thread - and the life Elena has built begins to unravel. When the programme that created Jace tries to destroy him, Elena must choose between the institution she has served and the man she has made. And Jace must decide whether the leash she holds is a chain - or the only thing keeping him from the dark. A dark psychological thriller about power, identity, and the cost of being rebuilt from nothing. Content Advisory: This book contains scenes of psychological intensity, physical discipline, and coercive power dynamics between adult characters. Intended for mature readers 18+.
