The Founders Prelude

Anastasia Orlov isn’t just one of Russia’s deadliest assassins—she’s a harbinger of terror.

Her target is the United States, but the mission starts with one of Mexico’s most ruthless cartels. To succeed, she’ll need to accomplish two tasks: arm the cartel with a weapon capable of killing thousands … and prevent them from discovering it.

The fallout will change the Western Hemisphere.

The cartel will become one of the world’s most notorious terror organizations.

Thousands will be wounded or killed.

And the United States will be ensnared in a trap it cannot escape.

But the cartel is more than a criminal empire; it’s a twisted cult built on dark rituals and savagery. As Anastasia travels deeper into Mexico’s underworld, she realizes her own life may be the price of success.
