"The war may have ended, but the ghosts it left behind are still fighting."
Thirty years after the Third Continental War decimated nations and disbanded governments, the new world is ruled by corporate city-states and "peace" is enforced by autonomous units trained to kill without question-the Ghost Units.
Kael Riven, once a war hero and the youngest captain in Ghost Unit history, walked away after a final classified mission broke his mind and shattered his squad. Branded as dead and hidden in the smog-choked slums of Sector 9, Kael lives a quiet life among the forgotten-until his younger sister, Sera, is kidnapped by the very regime he once bled for.
Framed for war crimes, Kael has no choice but to resurface. But the more he uncovers, the more he realizes: the war never truly ended. His squad's betrayal was orchestrated. Sera's abduction was a message. And the enemy now pulling the strings... wears the face of an old brother-in-arms.
To save his sister, Kael must return to the battlefield, reclaim his exosuit, and reunite the fractured members of Unit 17-now scattered, broken, or enemies. But every step forward brings him closer to a truth buried beneath layers of propaganda, blood, and machine.
> In a world where silence was once survival, Kael Riven will raise hell.
