Publisher's Synopsis
Elena Markovic, raised to be the next leader of Yugoslavia, has been named the head of the Covert Action Service - the European Union's secret rapid reaction force. With clandestine support from some of the EU's most powerful leaders, defending Europe is now up to Elena and her friends from the Balkans.
Operating from a high-tech underground bunker in Brussels, the team appears ready to take on terrorism and corruption. But they also must face an enemy that they never knew they had -- one that is dead-set on ruining them and destroying the EU.
Conflicting agendas threaten to tear the team apart as they try to make sense of seemingly unrelated events: a political scandal in Elena's home country, a migration crisis from war-torn Syria and the plight of an abused child from a radicalized Islamic family who begs for help they cannot give.
Together with her team, Elena must track down the mastermind behind this new wave of terror attacks in Europe. - someone who connects all these things and more. The mission will test her relationship with Drago, a refugee who is still coming to terms with his past deeds as a child soldier. Caught up in the European fallout of a vicious web of Balkan war crimes and revenge, they will have to face the truth of their pasts - or become its next victims.
