Remi thought surviving elite vigilante school would be the hard part. Turns out, getting over Drake might be worse.

After blowing up their toxic partnership, Remi’s ready to move on—new asset, new pod, and zero tolerance for the brooding psychopath who treated him like a pawn. But when a mysterious AI known as Lady Watchtower leaks a damning secret—that Drake was illegally inserted into the program by one of the school’s original operatives—Drake becomes the target of a cyber-attack meant to erase him permanently.

Remi should walk away. He’s got the bruises—and the broken heart—to prove that Drake isn’t worth saving. But the deeper he digs into the AI’s origin, the more tangled their fates become. Because Lady Watchtower doesn’t just want Drake gone...it wants to burn the entire school to the ground.

Now forced into a reluctant partnership, Remi and Drake must unravel a conspiracy tied to a long-lost operative known only as the Whipping Boy, the same man who broke the rules to bring Drake into the program...and who might be the only one who can stop what’s coming.

Enemies. Partners. Something else entirely. One thing’s certain: Remi isn’t Drake’s handler anymore.

But he might be the only one who can save him.
