Summary
In the wake of Jack’s death, it feels like the world dropped out from beneath Riley and Mac’s feet. Neither knows which way is up anymore. Mac, to his credit, is handling it better than Riley—who, after a week of crying, stopped showing any emotion at all. She’s running on rage and her vicious promise that the woman who killed Jack would spend the rest of her life rotting in a cell. Riley isn’t grieving; she’s obsessing, and Mac feels her slipping away a bit more every day.
Riley wants revenge. Mac just wants to keep their heads above water.
So when Riley goes rogue, Mac has no choice but to go after her. This is his last chance to reel her in, to help Riley process her grief in a healthy way. And if he fails—if Riley succeeds in convincing him to join her bloody crusade—then the Phoenix may very well be hunting them again, and unlike with Codex, this time they’ll deserve it.
