val·or: great bravery in the face of danger, especially in battle
Once, I had it in spades. As a member of the United States Special Forces, I fought alongside the bravest and most capable men I've ever known.
Until one mistake landed us in Hell.
For six months, I fought. Until our captors learned the full extent of my skills, and my fate was sealed.
Tortured and broken in conditions that made Hell look like a five-star resort, I died, and Isaad was born. Shaped into a weapon for the wrong side. I forgot who I was. Who I was meant to be.
Then my captor imprisoned a woman with powerful friends.
Helping her escape reminds me of the man I used to be. Now, I'll fight. For myself. For the friends I thought I lost in Hell. And for Cara. She has a secret I can't ignore, but she soothes my demons. My pain. She can help me find myself again.
If I'm strong enough, I can leave Isaad behind. Maybe then, I can take back my true name.
Ripper.
