Cael Rourke spent four years in a unit that officially never existed. When a mission went wrong and four of his men died, the record was sealed, and he was discharged. Eighteen months later, the civil case he fought to bring the truth to light is dismissed before he even reaches the courtroom. Out on the steps, a stranger hands him a phone.

Others are sealed because someone is still afraid of what they contain.

He died in the ice, carved up by the wife he'd fed for nine years while her lover held the bowl. Lin Chen gave the Su family everything: his money, his parents' house, his body scavenging through a frozen world.

Someone chose him. And he may not be the only one who came back. Revenge is only the beginning. Want a shorter version for the submission listing, or a punchier tagline to go with it?
