Powers will collide. Secrets will surface. Loyalties will erode.

And one impossible choice will decide the fate of Uretha.

In the next explosive chapter of The Affinity Saga, the Elite Defenders Unit faces a truth that shatters everything they believed about their leader. Malcolm Bennett-the man they trusted as mentor, brother, and protector-is not who they thought he was. His buried past is directly tied to Uri City's greatest threat: The Collector. Now the Elite are forced to do the unthinkable:

HUNT THE GREATEST DEFENDER IN A GENERATION.

As the Unit struggles to process his betrayal, Symone receives an ominous message suggesting that the Company itself has been compromised. While grappling with the truth about the man she loves, she launches a dangerous and clandestine search for the traitor hiding in plain sight.

Meanwhile, desperate to reclaim the past stolen from him, Malcolm forms an uneasy alliance with his sworn nemesis and her ruthless band of operatives, the only people who know the truth about who he used to be. Together, they launch a campaign to destroy the very Company Malcolm once swore to protect.

But the closer Malcolm gets to the truth, the more dangerous his search becomes. Because some secrets were buried for a reason. And uncovering them will force him to face the team he built and unleash a power that could cost him everything.

Symone.

The Elite.

Uri City.

And the future of Uretha itself.
