They Come at Knight

In Angoe’s thrilling sequel to 2021’s Her Name Is Knight, elite assassin Nena Knight undertakes a new mission for the African Tribal Council (aka the Tribe), a small but powerful coalition that seeks to support the people of Africa through a combination of humanitarian aid and the elimination of dangerous political leaders. The Tribe is also Nena’s family: her adoptive father, Noble Knight, is the head of its High Council; her sister, Elin, manages its finances. Highly trained, Nena and her Dispatch team invade the Kenyan outpost of the villainous General Konate to assassinate him, but it becomes clear the general was warned of their plans, as they’re caught in a trap. After escaping, Nena and her team look into some funds earmarked for aid and supplies that go missing. While racing to uncover a traitor within the Tribe, Nena must also overcome her early trauma of sexual and emotional abuse, pursue her romance with handsome lawyer Cort Baxter, and bond with Cort’s exuberant teenage daughter, Georgia. This action-packed novel drives toward an explosive conclusion. Determined to survive devastating loss and mete out justice, Nena is a heroine readers will embrace. Agent: Melissa Edwards, Stonesong.
