The Obsidian Files 6

The war for the future isn't just fought with guns. It's fought on the balance sheet.

In the chaotic aftermath of the Obsidian data dump, forensic accountant Sofia Romano is tasked with the impossible: tracing the financial ghost of a dead conspiracy. But in the digital ledgers, she discovers something far more terrifying than old crimes. A new player has emerged from the ashes of Reid Jennings's empire, moving billions with chilling speed and precision. While the world hunts ghosts, a new queen is building an army.

Her only ally is Liam Gallagher, a cynical CIA analyst who lives in the world of whispers and shadows that Sofia's world of hard data despises. They are oil and water, forced into a reluctant partnership to hunt down the source of the new funding. Their only lead is a single, heavily fortified bank in the Cayman Islands, the financial heart of the new Obsidian.

When their attempt to infiltrate the digital fortress goes horribly wrong, they are burned and disavowed, ghosts on the run with a stolen ledger and a horrifying discovery: a kill list where the targets are being chosen based on their DNA.

Now fugitives with a target on their backs, Sofia and Liam must decipher the true, monstrous endgame of their new enemy. Their desperate search for answers leads them to a fragile alliance with the scattered survivors of the original resistance. But the final transaction in the stolen ledger reveals a truth that is far more personal and devastating than any global conspiracy. The real ghost isn't in the machine; it's in Sofia's own family history, and the foundation of her entire world is a lie.
