The war has come to the island, and all must sacrifice something.
Kenji has already lost more than most men survive. Hiro stands beside him now. Half a brother, twice the weapon. Together they walk toward the one reckoning no son is ever meant to face.
And Nyomi carries something none of them can see—a secret heavy enough to save everything, or take it all away. The question was never whether she would give. It’s how much, and whether she can survive the cost.
Everyone bleeds before morning.
Everyone gives something up.
The only question left is who’s still standing when the dust settles—and who actually gets to walk off the island.
