'Torture is a way of life, son. It's not just a skill, or an order, it's a code of conduct between people like us. You have to show your enemy no remorse, no compassion - just violence. When you show weakness, your enemy can exploit that, turn the tables and make you prey for mercy. I need soldiers that can stomach that stuff, that can inflict pain upon enemies without thinking twice. Even if that means hurting the people around you, and crushing the ones you love.'
Aiden isn't the typical "knight in shining armor" that you'd expect. His methods may be seriously flawed but his heart is in the right place. Seeing Ace again is fate, but unfortunately for Aiden, fate comes in the form of none other than Hudson.
Hudson is cruel, bloodthirsty and devious. He spins his own game, hurting Aiden in more ways then one. He proposes the question:
Would you sacrifice family for the one you love?
Aiden needs to make a choice, because in the end, only one may prevail, and Ace may just have to suffer the consequences of her former friends actions.
This book is a series of twists and turns, a mystery that needs to be uncovered and maybe a little hint of romance. We'll see :)
This is my first book, so feel free to read, comment and give me your feedback. Enjoy :)
