This riveting sequel begins where the cliff-hanger of the first book, Warriors of the Sacred Garden – Mila: Iron and Silk, left us. Mila awakens from a coma in the laboratory of her nemesis, Masae Norfolk-the ruthless CEO of a powerful pharmaceutical tycoon that uses its knowledge to unleash bioweaponry on the world. In the lab, Mila is in the care of Masae's head scientist, Dr. Alexander Lyashenko, who has been tasked with genetically altering Mila using experimental treatments that will enhance her skills for combat and espionage.Meanwhile, Eli Roth, Mila's former boyfriend, and Kei Sato, the man who acted as loving father to young Mila, continue their search for the woman they adore. Eli and Kei track the destructive path of a young female terrorist, both hoping and dreading they have found Mila reborn. Along with the rest of Cherut-the phantom group within the United Nations for which Mila used to work-Eli and Kei chase this dangerous woman from the United States to Guantanamo Bay to Dubai and beyond. Cherut, a group of noble fighters and faithful friends (including a group of warriors from an ancient world) will do anything to rescue Mila, but they must also work fast to stop Masae from seeking out the crucial artifact her son died for in book one. Both Masae and Cherut know the artifact holds the secret to an ancient laboratory deep in Amazonas.Desperate to put together the broken pieces of her life, her identity, and her purpose, Mila is caught in a race against Masae to the finish line-the heart of Amazonas. Once she gets there, she must confront her past and decide on her future: can she forgive herself for becoming the woman Masae made her into? Can she heal the wounds she has both inflicted and incurred? Can she learn to love again? Mila fights for her life to rise from the ashes as a warrior awakened. E. I.
