Summary

In a world built on obedience, love is the most dangerous betrayal. Vivienne Cross has spent her life believing in the Council of Unified Territories. As Echo, an elite Vanguard operative, loyalty is more than duty. It’s survival. When a classified mission leaves her the sole survivor of her unit, she’s reassigned to Unit Zero, a notorious team commanded by the ruthless and fiercely guarded Captain Damon Reid, callsign Rook. Rook doesn’t trust her. Echo doesn’t need his approval. But beneath their constant clashes, something dangerous begins to grow. As brutal missions expose the cruelty behind the Council’s promises of peace, Echo finds herself questioning everything she’s been taught. The soldiers she once considered strangers become her family, and the man determined to keep her at a distance becomes the one person she can’t bear to lose. Yet Rook is hiding secrets that could see them all executed. With rebellion spreading, political tensions rising and loyalties shifting, Echo must decide whether to remain faithful to the regime that shaped her or risk everything for the people who’ve changed her. Because in a world where trust is a weakness and love can be treason, some secrets don’t just break hearts. They destroy everything.
