It was almost immediately followed by intense pain as the knife made its first slice into his skin. *** Upon returning from a routine flight mission, Aiden Hunt is captured by a Prefect who wants revenge for Khondor. As his friends learn of his kidnapping, they must band together to save him from certain death...
