I spoke with such conviction that I felt the Earth shake and oceans roar behind me; for I had just supplied him with ammunition for the deadliest weapon of all time: the power to completely annihilate me. And my gosh, he sure knew how to take advantage of it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ten years ago a threat that could end mankind as we know it was detected. Without warning, Skylar Koker's world is turned upside down as she is hunted by a power hungry division planning to use her to take control of the danger and use it to destroy humanity. Fortunately for her, he's been trained to protect Skylar; Chase Dawson's career has been leading up to this moment. And he's hellbent on making sure that this time he won't fail - the stakes are too high. Now, Skylar's thrown into a new world with her cold-hearted protector by her side. As soon as she realises she is in too deep, she's left vulnerable and walking the fine line between not caring about Chase and caring too much which only puts the two of them in even more danger. With the secrets and lies Skylar believed was her life beginning to unfold, she's left questioning whose side she is on and whose she's fighting for. The impact of failure is the extinction of humans.
