The world sees chaos. He sees an equation waiting to be solved.
For billionaire genius JQ Serrano, codenamed Apex, control isn't a luxury; it's a survival mechanism. Haunted by a past defined by tragic inefficiency, he monitors the world from his high-tech tower in BGC, believing that with enough data, any disaster can be averted.
He was wrong.
A shadow consortium known as Chimera has descended upon the Philippines. Their mission: "Protocol: Silent Night," the systematic liquidation of every living biological weapon created by the Biyaya virus. The war has arrived, and the country's scattered heroes are the targets.
To stop a global superpower, JQ needs an army. He pulls the survivors from the wreckage of their previous battles: Ian Bautista, the lethal Watchmaker; Benito, the vengeful Serpent King; Mako, a living ghost in the digital machine; Gardo, the kinetic juggernaut; and Liway, the empathic heart of the storm.
But saving them is the easy part. Leading them is impossible.
They are broken, mistrustful outcasts who see JQ not as a savior, but as a cold, calculating puppet master. As Chimera's cybernetically enhanced forces tear Manila apart in search of the ultimate prize-the source code for the virus itself-JQ must learn that some variables cannot be controlled.
If he fails to unite them, the Biyaya curse won't just be contained; it will be weaponized for the highest bidder.
Precision meets power in this explosive next book of the Biyayaverse saga, where a fractured team must rise or watch their motherland burn.
