Patriot's Reckoning

Some debts come due in the light.

Major Valor Blake thought the reckoning was behind him. Five years after exposing The Architects, he's settled into the life he fought for: a wife who still steadies him, two children becoming leaders in their own right, and a country slowly healing.

Then Phoenix Initiative comes looking for a name he buried seven years ago.

A classified program. A decision made in a mountain valley in Kunar. It wasn't sin. It wasn't betrayal. But it was a grief Valor has carried alone ever since - hidden even from Rebecca.

As a mole burrows into the Citizen Reconstruction Corps, as his son's growing skill draws dangerous attention, and as a new global threat rises from the shadows of an enemy he thought he'd already defeated, Valor faces a different kind of battle than ever before. Not one fought with weapons. One fought with the truth - and whether he has the courage to hand it to his family, and his country, before anyone forces it out of him.

Patriot's Reckoning is a fast-paced political thriller about the weight of hidden grief, the cost of institutional trust, and the kind of honesty that doesn't wait to be caught - for readers who believe faith, family, and country are still worth fighting for.

The truth he buried has learned to walk. And it's coming home.
