DO YOU NEED MY HELP?

It’s the only question Evan Smoak still answers. Once a government black-ops assassin codenamed Orphan X, he now lives by a single rule: help the desperate, the vanished, the ones the system has already abandoned.

Brook Hawthorne is all three. Taken with others and locked into a scheme so brutal it rewrites the meaning of cruelty.

Behind it stands Houston Bozwell—a cold, rage-fueled predator with the power, the protection, and the absolute refusal to let anything threaten what he has built.

Even Evan.

What follows is not a rescue. It is a collision. To stop Bozwell, Evan will have to reclaim the one thing his former life nearly stripped from him: his humanity.

Or lose everything. For good.
