"A killer’s past is never buried—it waits in the shadows, ready to strike."
Ryan Drake thought he had escaped the bloodstained legacy of his family. Once a prodigy raised in a lineage of legendary assassins, he walked away from that world, seeking redemption in the shadows of a ruined city. But when a series of brutal murders emerge—each executed using the forbidden "Blood Code" technique—Ryan becomes the prime suspect in a conspiracy he never saw coming.
Haunted by a past he cannot outrun, hunted by those who know too much, and forced to partner with a relentless investigative journalist, Eleanor Cross, Ryan must unravel the mystery before he is consumed by it. But as the bodies pile up and old enemies resurface, one chilling truth begins to emerge—his greatest enemy might not be the syndicate hunting him, but the man who once taught him everything.
And when the final truth is revealed, Ryan will face the deadliest question of all:
Is he still the hunter… or has he become the prey?
