Ten years of war have taught Captain Evelyn Blackthorn two truths: family is chosen, and tomorrow is never promised. Back with Obsidian Directive, the off-book unit that goes where governments refuse, Evelyn is partnered with Commander James Reaves, the quiet force who has kept her alive and dangerously close for a decade.A routine infiltration in southern Ukraine exposes a weapons program that behaves more like tissue than metal. It learns, adapts, and hungers. As Obsidian hunts the source, enemies close in, reputations are targeted, and the team's hard-won sanctuary begins to fracture. Evelyn and James must navigate battlefield ethics, buried trauma, and a love neither of them can outrun, before a bio-engineered nightmare spreads beyond the shadows that birthed it.Gritty, intimate, and breathlessly paced, Warborn: The Desecration of Red blends military authenticity, biotech dread, and a romance tempered by fire. Perfect for readers who want high stakes, found family, and hearts on the line with every mission.
