The Deal that Built his Legacy May Destroy his Future.
The deal should have been impossible. Stephen Hope travels deep into Soviet Russia in 1971 to negotiate a high-stakes mining agreement, and he believes he's stepping into a rare opportunity. Instead, he's walking straight into something far more dangerous. He encounters a threat that will ripple across decades and alter the course of his family forever.
Years later, his son John Hope has risen to the highest levels of American power. As Vice President of the United States, he's respected but unknowingly standing at the center of a global game he never agreed to play. The forces had been set in motion years ago, and they never disappeared.
As assassination attempts, political maneuvering, and shadow networks close in, John is forced to confront the chilling reality that the lines between ally and enemy have been blurred for decades. The truth behind his family's past may be the key to stopping what's coming next.
Some secrets weren't meant to survive.
And some enemies don't exist on any map.
