I’m a Navy SEAL, trained for war and built for survival. Then Project 157 tears me out of the world I know and into one where neither can save me.

One moment, I’m aboard the LCS Engage. The next, I’m trapped in a brutal realm where lions hunt me, my strength is gone, and every fear I thought I’d conquered is waiting to finish me off.

And I’m the weakest thing in it.

Somehow, I make it back. But home isn’t home anymore.

I wake in military custody surrounded by men who don’t see a soldier. They see an anomaly. A specimen. A weapon. My blood has changed, my body is no longer fully my own, and no one will tell me what Project 157 was really meant to do.

But the worst part isn’t what they want from me.

It’s that the other world still has hold of me.

Something powerful is still reaching through the door that opened on the Engage, dragging me back into a fight I’m not ready for. And the more Navy medic Sage Emerson uncovers about the mission that put me there, the clearer it becomes that Project 157 was never an accident.

I was never supposed to survive it.

Now Sage may be the only person willing to fight for me before the military turns me into a weapon—and before the darkness that followed me home pulls her under too.

Because this time, survival won’t be enough. If I want to stop what’s coming through that breach, I’ll need more than training, more than strength, and more than fear to keep me alive.

I’ll need a faith strong enough to stand against the dark.
