    About this series

    A kidnapped child. A nation in crisis. A woman who knows no limits . . .

    Maya Raines is a spy caught between two cultures. She's half-Malaysian and half-American. Her skills are razor-sharp, but her soul is eternally conflicted.

    Now she finds herself drawn into a web of intrigue when a crisis erupts in Malaysia. A female terrorist named Khadijah has kidnapped the young son of an American businessman. It's a brazen act that marks the beginning of a civil war that threatens to destabilize Southeast Asia.

    Who is Khadijah? What does she want? And can she be stopped?

    Maya is determined to rescue the kidnapped boy and get answers. But as she tracks Khadijah, searching the back alleys and ghettos of a nation on the verge of collapse, she'll discover that her mission will be anything but easy.

    Loyalties are shifting. Secrets will be revealed. And for Maya, this will be a harrowing journey into the heart of darkness, forcing her to fight for everything that she believes in.

    Who is the hunter? Who is the hunted? And what will the ultimate sacrifice be?

      She used to hunt down terrorists. Now she's hunting down the man she loves . . . Kendra Shaw was once an assassin for her government. Lethal and invisible, she worked in the shadows, hunting down terrorists all around the world. But after a harrowing mission in Iraq goes wrong, the pressure becomes too much for her to take, and she suffers a nervous breakdown. Now disgraced and suspended from duty, Kendra is sent back home, where she spends months recovering from the trauma. She thinks she is out of the game, but any peace is short-lived. One afternoon, on a busy street corner, Kendra spots a familiar face from her past-Ryan Hosseini, the lover she left behind years ago when she decided to serve her country. Wrestling with old regrets, she is about to approach him when she realizes that he isn't alone. A surveillance team is hovering close by. Affiliation unknown. Intention unknown. And before Kendra can make sense of the situation, a bomb detonates and rips through the lunchtime crowd. And amidst the fire and rubble, Ryan vanishes. Now Kendra finds herself on the hunt once more, searching the city, determined to uncover the truth. Is Ryan a victim of circumstance? Or is he a home-grown terrorist on the verge of unleashing an even deadlier attack?

      Everybody wants him dead . . . She's the only one who can keep him alive. Abraham Khan is a Muslim who dreams of changing the world. He's liberal, pro-Western and determined to speak out against the extremists who have hijacked his religion. That makes him a target, and the consequences hit him fast and hard-an armed fanatic smashes into his home one evening, trying to kill him. He survives the harrowing attempt, just barely, but will he survive the next one? Maya Raines is the special operative brought in to protect Abraham. She is tough and committed. The very best at what she does. Always one step ahead of the threat. But Abraham is no ordinary principal-he will not hide, and he will not stay silent. And as rage explodes on the streets and the nation is propelled to the brink, Maya will have to ask herself the hardest question of all: how far would you go to protect one man's right to speak?
