When Pete Rowan receives a cryptic message from a man he hasn’t spoken to in years, he knows it’s not a reunion — it’s a reckoning.

Rex Harper was a ghost from another life. A covert operator turned outlaw, living off-grid in the remote American wilderness. Years ago, they buried a secret during an unofficial mission — a mission that never existed, with consequences neither of them fully escaped.

Now Rex is dying. He’s calling in the promise Rowan swore he’d honour —but never thought he’d have to.

As both men trek into the Pacific Northwest under fading light and fading trust, Rowan finds more than old memories waiting. There are debts to be settled. Predators in the trees. And a final truth neither man may walk away from.

In a land where no one knows your name, what does loyalty still mean?
