An assassin bound by obedience. A detective marked for death. A cartel war with no survivors.

Von Schlange thought she'd escaped her past. Now Black Nova owns her-an elite, off-the-books task force where obedience is survival and failure means death. As their newest assassin, she's unleashed on targets tied to Jaxon Ryker, a drug lord buried deep in the Alaskan wilds.

Her partner, Xander Holt, a former Navy SEAL with ice in his veins, lives by the same brutal code: no attachments, no lines crossed. But as missions turn bloody, the fragile boundary between partner and lover begins to blur-and desire becomes its own kind of danger.

Across the country, Detective Anaya Nazario faces a nightmare of her own. A synthetic "zombie drug," deadlier than fentanyl and immune to Narcan, is ripping through Los Angeles. Her investigation exposes a network of dirty cops shielding Ryker's empire-and puts a target squarely on her back.

Two women on opposite fronts. One war against corruption and cartel power. And a single truth-every betrayal leaves a body behind.

Explosive, unrelenting, and razor-sharp, The Serpent's Order propels the Serpent Series into its most dangerous chapter yet-where justice is a myth, and survival comes at a price paid in blood.
