Silent War

Fourteen months have passed since Joe and Alex survived the brutal events that bound them together. Now, they stand as Admirals of The Sanctum, a legacy-driven organization with global reach and secrets older than either of them can grasp. On the night of their twentieth birthday, a grand ball celebrates their rise—but beneath the glittering surface, danger waits.

The attack comes swiftly. An assassination attempt leaves the room in chaos and the future of The Sanctum hanging by a thread. In the aftermath, whispers begin to surface—about loyalty, about legacy, and about a new kind of weapon. After the ball, Joe and Alex were introduced to a classified technology, one so advanced it borders on science fiction. It promises protection, precision, and power—but its true cost remains hidden.

Seeking distance from the fallout, the group travels to New York. What begins as a brief escape turns into a descent into memory and manipulation. Joe sells his family's estate, unearthing long-buried secrets and confronting ghosts that refuse to stay buried. Among them is Alicia—Joe's former lover—whose return is anything but innocent. Her charm masks a darker agenda, and her presence threatens to unravel everything Joe and Alex have built.

But Alicia isn't the only shadow in the city.

The group uncovers intel that leads to a high-risk rescue mission—one that spirals into chaos. In the final moments, Joe watches Alex fall. The silence that follows is deafening. The mission ends in devastation, and Joe is left believing the person he trusted most is gone.

Silent War is a story of power, betrayal, and the quiet battles that rage beneath the surface. As the dust settles, one truth remains: some wars are fought with weapons. Others are fought with silence.
