The Path Of The Ronin

By Daniel R Myrick

THE PATH OF THE RONIN is a hard-hitting military thriller about loyalty, betrayal, and what happens when a warrior has no master left to serve.

Chief Petty Officer Steve Hanson comes home to Anchorage after years in Southeast Asia, discharged before he is ready to stop fighting. He is a Navy SEAL without a team, a man trying to find purpose in a world that feels cold and unfamiliar.

When Steve is recruited into Frank Billings' private security firm, he believes he has found a new brotherhood and a clean mission: protect the client, finish the job, go home. But one violent incident pulls him into the city's underworld, and a "simple" escort detail turns into an organized ambush that proves someone is watching, planning, and leaking information from the inside.

As the stakes climb, Steve is forced to confront the truth: the Firm is operating in a much darker arena than he was told, and the people closest to him may be tied to a wider war with global consequences. Far from Alaska, enemies gather and wait and Steve realizes he is being pulled toward a final reckoning where love, duty, and survival collide.

In the end, Steve must choose what kind of warrior he will be. A soldier who follows orders, or a ronin who makes his own code.
