IN A GAME OF MONSTERS. THE HEART IS THE DEADLIEST WEAPON. Inside the compound, loyalty is engineered. Disobedience is fatal. Alex has spent his life walking the fine line between weapon and man, trained to obey without question and kill without hesitation. Calm, precise, and controlled, he survives by suppressing the parts of himself that still feel. But when fractures start to appear inside the system that created him, Alex becomes something far more dangerous than a failed experiment. A Liability. The Scientist watches from the shadows, tightening his grip as paranoia takes root. Someone is leaking information. Someone is undermining years of perfect design. And when control begins to slip, he does what he has always done best: he corrects the problem. From within the compound, Thea sees the cost of those corrections firsthand. As the only human among engineered monsters, she tends the wounds they leave behind and the ones they cannot heal. When one of them falls, the truth doesn't die with him: it lingers, sharp and unbearable, demanding a choice she never thought she'd have to make. Some deaths are meant to silence. Some are meant to warn.
