The city’s children are vanishing with no hope of ever returning home dead or alive. At the heart of this nightmare is a brutal mercenary whose name alone strikes fear into the hearts of those who know it. The only chance anyone has for survival rests in the hands of Avery, a cop who’s as tough as they come. But it’s not until she’s brought to her breaking point when she finds the courage to face this pure evil head on. There exists a fine space between vengeance and forgiveness. A distorted boundary between trust and betrayal. A thin line between apathy and valiance. To confront what you fear the most, you can have nothing to lose. A terrifying story with a twist you’ll never see coming. ***Not for the faint of heart, this book is brutal, extremely graphic, disturbing, and intense. VALIANT stands alone, but serves as the 3rd installment of the Red Flags saga.
