Sleeper Assassin

Manipulation is palpable here. Blurred lines between friends and foes are everywhere. Trust in others must be earned, but at what cost?

Trapped in a sultry landscape brimming with Telepaths, Irwin and Kipp attempt to outsmart creatures that can read minds, plant seeds of doubt, and reap mental blows. Without Yace there to keep them safe, they are at the whim of merciless men, men who enjoy corrupting, who relish killing the innocent and guilty alike. This is what Yace’s father, Lord and Master Dephen Ishik wanted—Irwin now knows this.

Fortunately, Irwin befriends an Empath named Jorge, who says he will help them escape the Telepathic clutches—only if he can journey with them. He is wary of extra companionship until the unthinkable happens to Kipp, and they are setback in their pursuit of Yace. Jorge has ulterior motives. Irwin’s attention wanders. Kipp becomes jealous. Yace’s future is more uncertain now than ever. But first, they must travel through inhospitable land and hope that fate does not intervene.

When Jorge goes missing, Irwin is forced to make a choice; save a man who loves and accepts him or continue to search for Yace. Time is ticking and telepaths enjoy controlling. Irwin must conjure the strength to destroy and rescue, and without prejudice. Can he do that without hurting Kipp and Yace? Can he maintain a relationship with a man who wants to stay in a place that will set his Metalistic powers off?
