In this thrilling third installment of the Agent Bennet saga, the young field agent is about to face his greatest challenge yet: himself. Armed with the shocking revelation that the sinister Shepherd has turned more than one of their own into a pawn against the Orphanage, Bennet sets out to expose everything the Shepherd has planned. But his path is riddled with peril, and he’ll need to rally all of his friends if he hopes to survive. Haunted by the presence of his twin brother, Collin, Bennet is torn between loyalty to his family and the weight of his secrets. Collin’s tantalizing promises of freedom if Bennet joins the Shepherd shatter any remaining trust between the brothers, leaving Bennet with an agonizing choice: stay true to the organization that raised him or risk everything to rescue Collin from the clutches of darkness. As Bennet navigates the treacherous crossroads of destiny, his faith in the Orphanage begins to waver under the captivating influence of Darcy. She challenges his every belief, causing him to question his loyalties, and sows seeds of doubt in his mind. Will Bennett emerge from this adventure as a hero, or, like Collin, will he fall into the shadows that threaten to consume him?
