After a cataclysmic end to his time as a freedom fighter, Kris finds himself captured, blindfolded, and awaiting a bullet. He comes to believe this may be it-his end is near-only to discover his kidnappers are fellow Americans. It's soon revealed that the CIA has monitored him for a while, and after quickly learning of his misdeeds in Aljarran, they capture him before the nation's warring factions can, only to throw him in a black site prison. They know nothing of his true powers but find him-and the stories of his heroics-intriguing nonetheless… Kris soon learns that they wish to make him an offer. They tell him they'll release him on one condition: that he assassinates a disloyal former agent, a man who betrayed his former friends to become a big-time player in the South American drug trade… With the ghosts of Aljarran still haunting him, will Kris become the CIA's monster for hire?
