Jax was the most elite operative in the world—until a mission in Jakarta went up in flames, leaving him for dead and betrayed by his own unit. Shaving his beard and changing his name, he seeks the one place no one would ever look for a cold-blooded killer: a high-society nursery. Hired by tech billionaire Leopold Thorne to protect his daughter, Penny, Jax thinks his biggest challenge will be school runs and PTA meetings. But Penny isn't just any child. She’s the key to Aegis, a sentient AI system worth billions—and every shadow organization on the planet wants a piece of her. When Thorne’s own security team turns traitor, Jax is forced out of the shadows. With a nine-year-old genius at his side and a "clean-up crew" on his heels, Jax must navigate a city that has become a kill zone. To save the girl, he’ll have to become the monster he tried to leave behind. Rule Number One: Never underestimate the help.
