"Angst, dass ein wenig Aufmerksamkeit den Mann hinter dem Mythos entlarven könnte?" flüsterte ich, meine Stimme eine Herausforderung. Sein Kopf schnellte hoch und mir stockte der Atem. "Du hast keine Ahnung, wozu du einlädst, Avery", knurrte er, sein Körper eine Wand aus Hitze gegen meinen, als er mich gegen den Stein drängte. Der Duft von Regen und Nachtluft haftete an ihm, und seine durchdringenden Augen entblößten mich. "Fordere mich heraus, und ich nehme dich direkt auf den gepflegten Rasenflächen, die deinen Eltern gehören. Ich werde dafür sorgen, dass jeder ihrer perfekten Schüler hört, wie du meinen Namen schreist, und ich werde jede verdammte Sekunde davon genießen." Seine Stimme senkte sich zu einem tiefen Grollen.

“What’s the matter?” I tilted my head, letting a smirk play on my lips. “Afraid a little attention might expose the man behind the myth?” I whispered, my voice a challenge. His head snapped up, and my breath hitched. “You have no idea what you’re inviting, Avery,” he growled, his body a wall of heat against mine as he crowded me against the stone. The scent of rain and night air clung to him, and his piercing eyes stripped me bare. “Try me, and I’ll claim you right on the manicured lawns your parents own. I’ll make sure every one of their perfect students hears you screaming my name, and I’ll love every goddamn second of it.” His voice dropped to a low drawl. “It’s your move, Little Miller.

But the truth is far darker. Tony Fox, callsign Raven, was betrayed by the very organization that sent him.

From hunted fugitive… To commander of a secret interstellar citadel… Tony will forge the Phantom Legion. And one day, the men who betrayed him will learn a terrifying truth. The ghost they tried to kill… Has returned as a king without a crown.
