The war is over. The serpent is dead. Caleb Rourke and Zane Maddox are supposed to be free. They are not.
The woman who shaped Caleb's entire life is gone - but the machine she served has been running for two hundred years, and it doesn't stop for one man's grief, or his wedding, or his carefully built peace on the Virginia coast. When a silver key arrives with no return address, Caleb understands what it means: his father left something behind. A seat at a table no one votes for. A debt that has been waiting twenty-three years for the right person to pay it.
What waits for them in London is a ghost. What waits in Brussels is something older and more dangerous - a clearinghouse full of secrets that rewrites everything Caleb thought he knew about who his father was, and who authorised his death.
And somewhere in the fractures of the Consilium Umbrae, a man named Kieran Ash is building a weapon. Not a gun. Not a bomb. Something far more precise: a system designed to find the fault lines in the world's architecture and press, gently, until everything breaks at once. He believes he's saving civilisation. He has the patience of a man who knows he's right.
Caleb and Zane have something Ash's models can't account for. They have a list of names - if they can reach it before the world ends on someone else's schedule.
The Unseen Mandate is the fifth book in the Rourke Correlation series: a thriller about inherited power, the cost of silence, and two men who have already lost everything deciding what they're willing to lose next.

About the Author
My work spans political thriller, gothic horror, and small-town crime, different worlds, same obsession with what people do when no one's watching.
Known for tightly controlled prose and morally complex characters, my work often unfolds at the intersection of politics, technology, and personal consequence, places where decisions are made long before they are visible.
I publish under a pen name by design, allowing the work to stand apart from the author and speak on its own terms. The novels favor precision over spectacle, tension over exposition, and reward readers who pay attention to what is left unsaid.
When not writing, I like to remain deliberately out of view writing my next novel.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
