Eighteen-year-old Ryan didn’t choose the Syndicate. It chose him.

Backed by the government and buried in secrecy, the Syndicate is a shadow organization built on surveillance, compliance, and control. When Ryan is pulled into its ranks, he’s forced to confront the price of obedience—and the cost of staying human in a system designed to strip that away.

Told through Ryan’s eyes, this gripping prequel unravels the twisted events leading to Sanctuary: The Chosen Trilogy. In a world where truth is filtered and loyalty is currency, Ryan must decide if he’s a weapon... or something more dangerous.
