Shadow Vipers

In a world shrouded in shadow, a secret identity can be the deadliest weapon...

Juniper Jones, a rising star in the military, is thrust into a dangerous new reality when her father, the legendary leader of the clandestine Shadow Vipers, is killed in action. Offered a chance to honor his legacy, she accepts a mission that demands the ultimate sacrifice: become James "Spirit" Jones, the Shadow Vipers' new commanding officer.

Disguised as a man, Spirit must lead a team of elite operatives, each a master of their craft, their skills honed in the crucible of covert warfare. But keeping her true identity hidden proves a constant battle, a tightrope walk between duty and deception.
As Spirit navigates the treacherous world of espionage, she finds herself drawn to Smoke, the team's enigmatic infiltration specialist. A shared secret and a near-death experience forge an undeniable bond between them, a forbidden attraction that simmers beneath the surface of their dangerous missions.
But when Spirit is critically injured, Smoke makes a desperate decision that could shatter their world. He uses one of the Chimera vials, a potent neurochemical compound with unpredictable and potentially devastating side effects, to save her life.
Spirit survives, but she is forever changed. The vial unlocks hidden abilities, granting her extraordinary powers that both fascinate and frighten her. As she struggles to control her newfound abilities, the tension within the team escalates, their trust shaken by the unknown potential she now carries.
Caught between her duty to her team and her growing feelings for Smoke, Spirit must navigate a dangerous web of secrets, lies, and betrayals. As the Shadow Vipers face a new enemy, one that threatens to unleash chaos on a global scale, Spirit must decide how far she is willing to go to protect her team, her secret, and the world they are sworn to defend.
