Winner of the Literary Titan Gold Book Award: Fiction
When revenge meets redemption, the stakes are life or death.
Professional knife-thrower Blade Broussard is obsessed with finding Alec Quinn, the man responsible for her mother's death. But when her search is interrupted by news that her friend Chase Maserati has been captured in North Korea while on a rescue mission, Blade must make a choice: continue her vendetta or join a desperate operation to save him.
Joining forces with the secretive Soldati di Cristo, a clandestine Christian brotherhood, Blade embarks on the mission into one of the world's most oppressive regimes during the tightly controlled Day of the Sun celebration. Disguised and under constant threat of discovery, she navigates a treacherous landscape where one wrong move means certain death.
With the clock mercilessly ticking down, Blade has one shot to reach Chase before he faces public execution. What Blade doesn't know is that Alec Quinn, the very man she's been hunting, has followed her into North Korea. And he's not the only one with deadly intentions-a powerful American political family wants Blade silenced permanently.
In a closed society where foreigners are always watched and Christians are persecuted without mercy, Blade discovers that survival requires more than skill-it demands sacrifice. And the price of redemption may be higher than she's willing to pay.
