Three women. One ancient brotherhood. Zero room for failure.
They thought their last mission was dangerous. They hadn't seen anything yet.
When Sania intercepts an encrypted transmission mentioning The Covenant, the agency's most guarded file is suddenly unlocked. Inside: evidence of a shadow government pulling strings across three continents, composed of power brokers who've sworn an oath in blood to preserve imperial control by any means necessary.
These men don't just sit in boardrooms. They rig elections. Assassinate reformers. Destabilise economies. And they're about to execute their most ambitious plan yet.
Aryssa infiltrates their inner circle, navigating a deadly labyrinth of old-money connections and ruthless enforcers. One wrong word means a bullet. Sania hacks their unbreakable security system, racing against a digital countdown that will expose her position to killers standing by. Inaya goes toe-to-toe with the corporate titan who destroyed her family, only to discover he's a pawn in a much deadlier game.
From London's exclusive gentleman's clubs to blood-soaked diamond mines to the penthouse suites of Dubai, the women uncover a conspiracy stretching back centuries, with tentacles reaching into their own organisation.
Trust no one. Question everything. And whatever you do, don't break the silence, unless you're ready for war.
James Bond meets Hidden Figures in this explosive sequel. Perfect for fans of globe-trotting espionage thrillers with brilliant, fearless heroines.
