Shadow Reckoning

The city burned.

Fires lit up the night as chaos spread through the streets. The Vultures weren't hiding anymore. They were claiming the city, marking it in blood.

And Shade?

He was running out of time.

Jade loaded her gun, her expression grim. "What's the plan?"

Shade tightened his gloves. "We end this."

Lauren frowned. "And if Lucian gets inside your head?"

Shade exhaled. "Then you end me."

Jade stiffened. "Not funny."

Shade met her gaze. "I'm not joking."

She swallowed hard. "You think I could pull the trigger on you?"

Shade didn't answer.

Because they both knew the truth.

If he became what Lucian wanted him to be—

Jade would be the only one who could stop him.

And that?

That scared him more than anything.
