A silent witness. A buried secret. And a reckoning no one survives untouched.
Dr. Helena Sage has spent her life protecting the people who fall through the cracks in a remote Alaskan town. When Traci, a silent teenage trafficking survivor, is placed in her care, Helena knows two things immediately: the girl is deeply traumatized and someone is still hunting her.
Eli Vance vanished into the Alaskan wilderness years ago, broken by a mission he couldn’t survive emotionally. Former Delta Force. Off-grid. Alone. Until federal marshals tell him his niece is alive and he’s the only family she has left.
Traci knows something powerful enough to get her killed. Something that could expose the man at the center of a trafficking network embedded inside the system itself.
As danger closes in, the Talon Mountain crew prepares for war. Forced together by duty and threat, Helena and Eli form an unexpected bond built on shared loss, quiet strength, and a connection neither thought they’d ever want again.
Because some reckonings demand justice.
And some are worth everything.
