Children of Paranoia

ALL WARS HAVE RULES. BREAK THE RULES, BECOME THE TARGET.

Since the age of eighteen, Joseph has been assassinating
people on behalf of a cause that he believes in but doesn't
fully understand. The War is ageless, hidden in the shadows,
governed by a rigid set of rules, and fought by two
distinct sides-one good, one evil. The only unknown
is which side is which. Soldiers in the War hide in plain
sight, their deeds disguised as accidents or random acts
of violence amidst an unsuspecting population ignorant of
the brutality that is always inches away.

Killing people is the only life Joseph has ever known, and
he's one of the best at it. But when a job goes wrong and
he's sent away to complete a punishingly dangerous assignment,
Joseph meets a girl named Maria, and for the
first time in his life his singleminded, bloody purpose
fades away.

Before Maria, Joseph's only responsibility was dealing
death to the anonymous targets fingered by his superiors.
Now he must run from the people who have fought by his
side to save what he loves most in this world. As Children
of Paranoia reaches its heart-in-throat climax, Joseph will
learn that only one rule remains immutable: the only thing
more dangerous than fighting the war. . .is leaving it.
