In the electrifying third novel of the Empire of Shadows trilogy, Jack Mercer is drawn into a final, devastating confrontation with the hidden powers that have manipulated nations, financed covert wars, and trafficked in forbidden secrets since the ashes of World War II. What began as a hunt through ledgers, lies, and Cold War betrayals now leads to a chilling revelation: a clandestine brotherhood of elites seeking not merely power, but escape from death itself. Pursued across Europe's haunted corridors of faith, finance, and espionage, Mercer must decide whether to expose the truth or destroy it forever—before it claims the last thing he has left to lose. Dark, elegant, and relentlessly suspenseful, this is a thriller of conspiracy, mortality, and the terrible price of knowing too much.
