The New Order is no longer in power. Riza has been dismantled. Slowly, the country is rebuilding. Everyone has moved on except for Mark Carter. When his best friend got entangled in an impossible situation, Mark stepped up to help out. But that venture took a toll on him. Memories bombarded the young man. All the emotions from his past returned. A past where he fell in love with his best friend. Mark never let on how he felt. Instead, he watched from the sidelines as Asher became a husband and father. Forever the bad boy, Mark returns to his former ways-getting high and drunk. And just like in the past, he ends up in trouble with the law. Now Asher has to help. He does so but with a warning--Mark has to get his life together. But Mark can't give up the ghost. Seeing Asher happy with Rihana and their kids (she's pregnant again) upsets him. It's not that he doesn't want Asher to be happy. He just wants a chance of happiness. A dangerous mission. A dubious friendship with another recruit. A life on the line. Will Mark finally come clean? Will Asher embrace the truth staring him in the face? Or will both men continue to hide behind the lies? It's the long awaited conclusion to the Alliance Chronicles!
