Mastermind's Shadow

By: Drew, Robert M.

Dustfall survived the massacre. Now someone is teaching its people to obey.

Water disappears. Medicine becomes a bargaining chip. Workers vanish through routes hidden inside ordinary records. As Blymer Stewart, Mira Steel, and Orrulun Marrick follow the evidence, they uncover The Shroud-a network that turns every necessity into a means of control.

Doctor Varek sees something more valuable in the terror: a way to predict resistance before it begins. He already knows how the Ghost protects civilians, how Mira searches for an escape, and how Orrulun keeps impossible plans alive. Every rescue gives him another chance to study them.

When Blymer's secrecy fractures the crew's trust, their divided search leaves them exposed to an enemy learning exactly where to strike.

Staying apart may make them easier to hunt.

Coming together means confronting the choices that drove them away.

Then a damaged signal from Vervain draws their attention to an abandoned gunship and two companions lost to an old war. Answering it could recover a piece of their past-or cost them the future they are still fighting to protect.

Mastermind's Shadow, Book Three of The Stubborn Dawn Saga, follows a wounded crew through calculated terror, dangerous loyalties, and the unfinished work of bringing their people home.
