The Fifth Doctrine

New York Times bestselling author Karen Robards is back with the third novel in her stunning new international thriller series

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description
The brand new action-packed, fast-paced thriller from New York Times bestselling author Karen Robards. Perfect for fans of Karen Rose or the film Red Sparrow.

With her back against the wall, everything's on the line for Bianca St. Ives. She's either going to save the world—or die trying.

It took one hell of an effort for the authorities to finally get the jump on master manipulator Bianca St. Ives, but now that they have, it's far from the capture she expected.

Instead of taking her in, there's an offer on the table, a one-shot deal that would allow Bianca to walk away scot-free as if they'd never found her. And all she has to do is run one last mission—the kind she might never return from. But if Bianca wants to go back to her normal life in Savannah, it's not like she has a choice...

Or order the first in the series - The Ultimatum - now.
