Ashes of Redemption

Caden Cross, a weary assassin known as Specter, executes his final contract for the powerful border-industrial giant Aegis Solutions. His target is Elena Vasquez, a fearless attorney fighting the government's expedited deportation machine. When he encounters Lena, an orphaned girl tied to the case, Caden sees his own shattered childhood. He abandons the kill order, launching a desperate flight through Veloria's dark underbelly. As the Supreme Court prepares to uphold the very law Elena challenged, Caden discovers that all their sacrifices are merely expendable wear and tear in the gears of a vast profit-driven system.
