When former Black Ops soldier Marcus Cole discovers that his father—a billionaire arms dealer—was assassinated over a secret deal involving Iranian port blockades, he inherits a shadow empire he never wanted. With the U.S. military tightening its grip on the Middle East and a ruthless cartel closing in from South America, Marcus must navigate a deadly web of war profiteers, corrupt politicians, and a mysterious woman from his past who holds the key to a trillion-dollar secret. In a world where trust is a liability and power is the only currency, Marcus will either become the warlord his father destined him to be—or die trying.
