Conscripted

They Saw a Pawn. They Forged a Weapon. The Shadowboxer Files Begin.

Brill Wingfield isn't your average teenager. Exceptionally smart and observant, he catches the eye of powerful men with a hidden agenda. Recruited by a charismatic Governor with presidential ambitions, Brill is marked for a clandestine future - groomed to become a deniable asset, a spy hidden in plain sight. But his first unofficial mission, accompanying the girl he loves to Africa, plunges him into a nightmare far beyond any training scenario.

Ambushed at a remote refugee camp in war-torn Angola, Brill witnesses unspeakable brutality and suffers unimaginable trauma at the hands of ruthless MPLA rebels. Left broken and clinging to life, he loses everything - his love, his innocence, his identity. Rescued by hardened mercenaries operating in the shadows, Brill finds himself consumed by a single, burning purpose: Revenge.

Fueled by rage and guided by a battle-scarred mentor, Brill must trade his past life for the brutal reality of the mercenary trade. To hunt the men who destroyed his world, he needs skills. Deadly skills. His only path forward leads to the legendary, unforgiving selection course of South Africa's elite Special Forces - the Recces. But joining this deadly fraternity requires more than just survival; it demands confronting the darkness within and becoming the very thing he hunts.
