When she’s transferred to the position of assistant to an instructor for CIA undercover operations, she’s exposed to a world full of danger and intrigue where the stakes are high.
Following the completion of his training to become a SEAL, Damian Schmitt is unexpectedly transferred to be part of the elite Saint Squad, which includes several members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Shortly after he joins the squad, everything starts falling apart. There is a near-fatal training accident, and his team leaves for an assignment without him. When news comes that his team is missing, he is determined to find them.
