Thou Shalt Not Kill

They stole her body.
They shattered her mind.
But the real tragedy is what they left behind.

Cassie's world shatters the moment she's kidnapped, ripped from every familiar and thrown into a nightmare world she could never imagine. In the shadows of a merciless sex trafficking ring, she and the other girls endure unspeakable horrors, tortured, controlled and pushed to the brink of despair.

When her captors believe she's dead, they dump her thinking the nightmare is over. But Cassie is far from gone. In a haunting catatonic state, her mind becomes a battleground and survival takes on a new, terrifying dimension.

The man who once promised to protect her becomes someone else entirely, someone the old him would have feared. Every clue he uncovers cuts another piece away. Every name he tracks down pulls him further from the light. He doesn't notice when justice stops being his goal. He doesn't notice when revenge stops being enough.

What follows isn't an investigation. It's a descent.

Because when the world destroys you, something must rise from the ruins. The only question is what.
