A Question of Loyalty

He planned to handle it alone. His team had other ideas. The Rogues thought they'd stopped the conspiracy against the League/Empire alliance. They were wrong-it went deeper underground. Llen has spent his whole life being other people's weapon: informant, operative, assassin, expendable double agent. The Rogues were the first place he belonged. When the trail picks back up, he walks away-sure that leaving is the only way to keep them safe. The Rogues can't agree on what to do. Kailin calls him a traitor and means it-at first. But as the hunt for Llen turns up more of the conspiracy than expected, she starts seeing what Lei saw all along: a man who's risked everything to protect them. Llen is about to learn what some of the Rogues never doubted-that the things one person can't survive alone, a team can. As the trail leads deeper into a plot aimed at the League's incoming president, Llen has to decide if he knows how to let people in-and Kailin has to decide if trust, once broken, can be rebuilt in time to matter. Will Llen's gamble save the alliance - or cost him the only family he's ever had?
