About
The convoy route was supposed to be airtight. Now bullets are shredding through metal and your ears are ringing with the crack of gunfire at the border crossing. Someone sold you out before the ink on the truce even dried. Elias Sinclair - your enemy, your reluctant partner - has just shoved you behind his car door, arm braced hard across your chest. His jaw is set. He isn't looking at you. He should have let you handle it yourself. You both know that. And somewhere in the smoke and chaos, your most trusted aide hasn't moved to help.
