Return of the Black Flag

Some families don't escape war. They inherit it.The Stryker's were never fragile people. From Highland fighters and sea raiders to Carolina patriots riding with Francis Marion, their inheritance was simple:Protect the innocent. Hunt the guilty.Stand back up after the hardest hit.For Chance Stryker, that inheritance is no longer a story. It's a battlefield.After uncovering Soviet‑era dossiers, Iranian assets, and evidence of a decades‑long destabilization campaign running inside America, Chance follows a hostile signal to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. In the shadow of the State Capitol, every street is a firing lane, every bridge an escape route, every camera a witness—and every civilian a complication.The target is close.The trap is closer.What begins as a hunt for the architect of an operation on U.S. soil becomes something far more personal. The enemy knows the Stryker name. They know the family history, the old bloodlines, the old debts—and the old wars that never truly ended.Now they're coming for everyone Chance loves.But the men behind the operation made one fatal mistake.They believe the Stryker line can be broken.They're about to learn some families don't retreat from war.They inherit it.
