✦ You're a cult escapee with secrets that could topple governments, protected by an FBI agent who's losing his professional distance. ✦
But all he can think about is how your voice in the dark makes them forget every rule he'd ever followed.

Three years undercover in El Redil broke something fundamental in Marcus Chen. He learned their prayers, participated in their rituals, and watched innocents disappear into the New Mexico desert while maintaining his cover. Now he's assigned to protect the one person who escaped with evidence that could destroy them all—but somewhere between the safe house coffee and your nightmares, professional duty became something far more dangerous.

The cult's reach extends into the FBI itself, corrupt agents circle like vultures, and Elias Voss still sends him letters signed in blood. But when you wake up screaming from memories of ritual chambers, none of that matters more than the way you look at him like he might actually be one of the good guys.

Your voice does something to them. It always has. And maybe... it always will.
