In the explosive sequel to Dawn of the Lion, the stakes have never been higher for the Cheras family and the nation they call home.

Daniel Cheras is a man caught between worlds. As an investigative journalist, he’s uncovering a conspiracy that reaches into the highest levels of power. As a father, he’s losing his son Jude to the enigmatic billionaire Calvin Mayer and his revolutionary company, EmoGen. And as a husband, he’s watching his wife Megan battle terminal cancer with only weeks to live.

When Mayer announces a cure for cancer and gives it to Daniel for Megan, everything changes. But the gift comes with questions. How did Mayer know about Megan’s condition? What is his true agenda? And why are Jude and his friends now wearing paramilitary uniforms and standing armed at Mayer’s compound?

As riots tear through Los Angeles following the acquittal of William Braxton, Daniel uncovers evidence of a far more sinister plot. Chinese insurgents, stolen technology, murdered politicians, and a proxy war being fought on American streets converge in a deadly conspiracy. With the help of his old military friend Lou Edison, Daniel races to expose the truth before the nation tears itself apart.

But the deeper Daniel digs, the more he realizes that Calvin Mayer might not be the villain he suspected, and the real enemy may be hiding in plain sight, using advanced holographic technology to sow chaos and division.

The lion gathers his forces, and soon, the final gambit.
