Forbidden - Remnants Of Another Life, #4 - E-book - ePub

Part I of III in The Order story arc. A top-secret international military organization, known only as ROOT works from the shadows to protect the delicate balance of world peace. With eighty hidden bases and thousands of gifted agents in their employ, ROOT is an unstoppable force. An elusive group is targeting the gifted. With the newfound absence of HAVOC, executions of these talented individuals are frequent and taking place on an international scale.
The only clue the responsible party leaves behind is a mysterious card with a depiction of a religious symbol on it. Alpha Team is fortunate enough to unearth some information about this threat during their missions. However, when Wraith works through her findings with the General, a long-kept secret is shared, and she and Fang find themselves assigned to an 'off-the-books' mission to appease him. When back in Japan, long-buried reminders of the past begin to surface - a past they shared over five-hundred years ago.
Both agents find they must take an in-depth look into their fears and meet them head-on if their relationship is to survive this latest hurdle. *This work contains sexually explicit scenes between consenting adults, descriptive violence, and foul language. R. O. A. L Series SynopsisEnter a world of supernatural fantasy set in a modern-day, fast-paced setting. ROOT, a secret organization that does not align itself with any of the world's many governments, is a militant group comprised of spies, soldiers, scientists, doctors, hackers, and assassins.
Specializing in finding gifted beings to join their ranks, ROOT employs their assistance to aid in their global mission of protecting world peace. There are over eighty secret bases spread throughout the world and thousands of sleeper agents posing as simple civilians within 'normal' everyday societies. Upon signage with ROOT, the real-world identities of each agent are erased from society, effectively making them ghosts of people who never were, true remnants of another life.
And only the most elite of agents make up departmental specialty teams units - enter ROOT's infamous Reconnaissance Alpha Team. The Remnants Of Another Life series combines elements of Mission Impossible and X-Men with a heavy dose of smoldering romance tightly woven in-between. Missions are fast-paced, dangerous, and often violent. Agent off time is often humorous, and character reflective. Take the journey with agents Wraith and Fang as they try to navigate through their complicated relationship in a world where antagonists usually have the best intentions, and the decisions to 'harm to protect' usually come with an unsettling moral price.
In the ROAL world, nothing is ever clearly black or white and like reality, peace never seems to last for very long. Reviews"One moment we're wrapped up in a mystery, next we're crying from laughter, and then we find ourselves throwing the book across the room because of the cliffhanger! This is a delightful addition to the Remnants Of Another Life universe. Please don't keep us waiting for the next book for too long!" -Francesca Principe, Reader."Wildly imaginative yet somehow realistic.
Leston is an expert at pulling us in from the very beginning and leaving us begging for more!" -Kerri Romanino, Reader."Leston's characters are so real and flawed that we can't help but fall in love with them. This well-written page-turner was too addictive to put down! The cliffhanger has me dying from suspense! Bring on Book 5!" -Helen Wandzilak, Reader.
