A new leader has stepped from the shadows to seize control of the Coalition-and a weapon that could reshape the balance of power forever. "Sometimes," Jake warned her, "the only way to win is to sacrifice everything." Kate's hunt races from the rain-soaked boulevards of Paris to Beslan, a Russian city haunted by unanswered questions-where memories she buried long ago surface with deadly force.In New York, a trusted ally is killed. Another vanishes. High in the Swiss Alps, Kate undertakes her most dangerous mission yet- infiltrating the labyrinth beneath Davos-before world leaders walk blindly into a trap from which there may be no escape. A bioweapon counts down to catastrophe. Her team is scattered and fighting to survive. And Kate is one move away from exposing the conspiracy that took everything from her-if she is willing to pay the ultimate price.

This is where Kate's story comes full circle. And where the final move changes everything.
