I knew I shouldn’t come near her from the beginning, but she’s everything I’ve never been able to be. And now a monster has taken her, caged her, to get even with me. My code name is Aries. And I will burn the world to the ground to get her back. ••• USA Today and Publisher's Weekly bestselling author Janie Crouch brings the long-awaited follow-up to her Linear Tactical series: Zodiac Tactical—the team of protectors who stand at the front line in the face of danger.
