For six months, Lee Wilder has been at the mercy of two alien captors—the brutal enforcer he calls Pink Hoodie and the enigmatic, auburn-haired woman he knows only as Cynthia.

Returning memories are a fractured nightmare. When he seizes a chance to escape into the wilderness, his flight turns into a bloodbath. Pink Hoodie and her monstrous rahktars fall to a hail of bullets—courtesy of camo-clad survivalists with semi-automatic rifles. But rescue isn't the same as freedom.

Dragged to a remote enclave, Lee stands accused of leading an attack against the very men who saved him. But their leader, Bear, sees something more in him: a mystery worth unraveling, and the answer to a perilous question.

Forced to confront his shattered past, Lee resists. Yet when hypnosis peels back the layers of his lost memories, the horrifying truth emerges. And in knowing, there's no turning back.
