About the book
They called Sasha Cain a miracle. She knows better. She wasn’t rescued from captivity as a child. She was released. Now twenty-four, Sasha lives off the grid and off the books, hunting the people who traffic children and break them through psychological conditioning disguised as treatment. She doesn’t save the innocent. She dismantles the guilty. When a mission uncovers a name tied to her own disappearance, Sasha is forced to confront the truth she’s spent years outrunning: what was done to her wasn’t random—it was a test. As she digs deeper, Sasha uncovers a covert network protected by money, influence, and silence. The operation doesn’t just sell children—it erases them, rebuilding obedience where identity once lived. And the program never ended. With a Glock 37 and scars she doesn’t hide, she builds a small team she learns to trust. Sasha races to expose a system designed to stay invisible. But when she learns she wasn’t the only child engineered to survive, the mission turns personal. Because some marks can’t be seen. And breaking the chain may cost her everything.
