Amber Payne has faced challenging cases before, but this one cuts deeper than she’s willing to admit. Collapsing bridges, equipment turning to dust, and a deadly illness are only the symptoms of something far more personal—something that forces Amber to confront the limits of her own strength and the fear she never lets anyone see.

As the crisis spreads, Amber is pushed into a fight she can’t walk away from. Friends, colleagues, and hundreds of innocent civilians depend on her, and every choice she makes carries a cost she’ll have to live with. For the first time, Amber wonders whether she can save the people she loves without losing herself in the process.
