U.S. Marshal Cole Ransom has spent fifteen years hunting America's most dangerous fugitives. He has never lost a target. Until his own brother becomes one. When Cole returns to Texas after his younger brother is found tortured and executed near the Rio Grande, the investigation ends before it begins. Evidence disappears. Witnesses vanish. Police officers who ask too many questions end up dead. Someone isn't protecting the killers. They're working for them. Defying direct orders, Cole fakes his disappearance and enters the criminal underworld under the name Nova-a ghost with no past, no badge, and no rules. His mission is simple. Earn the trust of the country's most powerful crime syndicate. Find the man who ordered his brother's murder. Burn the empire to the ground. But every step deeper into the organization costs him another piece of himself. To survive, he must traffic weapons, outsmart cartel lieutenants, deceive federal agents, and convince murderers that he belongs among them. Then he uncovers the truth. His brother wasn't killed because he saw too much. He was killed because he discovered Black Nova-a secret operation linking cartel leaders, corrupt officials, billionaire businessmen, and powerful figures inside the federal government. Now Cole isn't just fighting criminals. He's fighting the people who built the system. And if his identity is exposed, there won't be an arrest. There won't be a trial. Only a shallow grave somewhere in the Texas desert. Some men wear a badge. Some men wear a mask. Cole Ransom must wear both.

لم تكن تبحث عن الحب... وكان هو أبعد ما يكون عن أن يصبح رجلًا يُعتمد عليه. لكن القدر جمع بين امرأةٍ صنعتها الخسارات... وشابٍ لم يبدأ حياته الحقيقية إلا بعد أن خسر كل شيء. في عالمٍ لا يعترف إلا بالقوة... وبين أسرارٍ دفنتها السنوات... وحقائقَ كان يجب أن تبقى مخفية... تبدأ حكاية لم يكن لأيٍّ منهما أن يكون جزءًا منها. فهل يستطيع القدر أن يُعيد ما سُرق يومًا؟ أم أن بعض الخسارات لا يعوضها العمر كله؟ #شادر_الدهب
