The Compound Network nearly killed them.Now they're the only ones who can save it. The rules have changed. 1. The compound can't be saved . . . unless it can.(Major Henry Mortimer is determined to fix the organization that almost destroyed him and everyone he cares about-even if his "supporters" seem to be working against him.) 2. Empaths are doomed to self-destruct . . . unless they aren't.(Bastian Lucas thinks he's accepted that his power is killing him-until a questionable ally offers him a dangerous way out.) 3. Failed experiments get buried . . . unless they don't.(Laurel was done looking back, but when a presumed-dead asset turns up at the compound very much alive, she has the opportunity to right past wrongs-or to make everything worse.) With their fledgling new compound sinking into chaos, Henry, Bastian, and Laurel must come together to unravel a conspiracy that starts where their pasts inexplicably meet . . . before everything they've been trying to rebuild goes up in flames.
