Book Two · Coming November 2026
They came to fight. He came to win.
Jake Sullivan survived Site C, but the fallout is far from over. Wakefield Construction is drowning in debt, Sarah is running out of options, and Jake sees only one way to help her: enter the Machine Wars, an underground heavy-equipment circuit where elite operators turn excavators, loaders, cranes, and dozers into weapons for packed crowds and enormous prize money.
Jake comes to Arizona with a simple plan—win enough to save Sarah and go home. But the deeper he gets into the tournament, the more dangerous the world around him becomes. Powerful sponsors control the competitors, fortunes change hands at the betting tables, and Eddie Broughton, the man behind the Wars, has already decided Jake may be worth far more than a single tournament.
Then Jake discovers Benji Cooper is competing too.
Their fight never truly ended at Site C, and now every round brings them closer to settling it. But Benji is only one threat in a competition built on violence, manipulation, and people willing to do anything to control who wins.
Jake entered the Machine Wars to save the people he loves. By the time Arizona is over, he may have discovered something about himself that is much harder to leave behind.
