The Dark Phoenix
Kane, a former special forces operative turned mercenary, lives a solitary life in the shadows of a violent world. Haunted by the ghosts of his fallen comrades, he has traded his humanity for survival, taking on high-risk jobs for those who can afford his lethal protection. His latest mission—a quick and efficient rescue of a cartel boss’s children—leaves him questioning his own desensitization to violence and the meaning of his work.
When Evelyn Bennett, a visionary tech entrepreneur whose groundbreaking educational program threatens powerful adversaries, seeks Kane’s help, he finds himself drawn into a mission that feels different. Evelyn's program has the potential to change the lives of impoverished children, but dark forces are determined to stop her. As Kane steps into the role of protector, he must confront the duality of his existence—torn between his cold, mercenary persona and the desire to fight for something worth protecting.
The stakes are high, and the enemies ruthless. As the danger escalates, Kane must grapple with his own past and the question of whether he can still fight for a cause beyond personal gain, or if he is doomed to remain a weapon for hire. In a world where loyalty is rare and redemption harder to find, Kane’s final choice will determine not only his own fate but that of those he has sworn to protect.
