S.A.B.E.R. – Sector for Advanced Black-Ops and Elite Reconnaissance

Established by the Indian government in the late 1990s, S.A.B.E.R. was a clandestine sector created to infiltrate and eliminate high-level threats that even the RAW and Intelligence Bureau couldn’t reach.

The sector’s agents were ghosts, working in the shadows of the shadows, their identities erased from all official records.

Emma had been recruited at 23, and over the next five years, she became the most feared operative the sector had ever known.

Her name was never spoken, but her signature was unmistakable—clean kills, brutal precision, and no survivors.

The only people who had ever seen her face were the Prime Minister, the President, and her commanding officer.

When half the agents turned rogue, S.A.B.E.R. launched a deadly internal strike.

Emma and a few loyal agents hunted the traitors, wiping them from existence.

For their loyalty, the remaining agents were awarded India’s highest military honors.

But the government buried their existence—no files, no records, nothing.

The sector was officially dismantled, and the loyal agents became ghosts, permanently off the grid.

But Emma?

She became a private contractor, the Indian government’s deadliest secret weapon, called upon only when all else failed.

Her Past

Years before S.A.B.E.R., Emma was married to Tyler Rake, a gritty Australian-American special forces soldier.

They had a son together, a beautiful boy with his father’s eyes.

But when their son was diagnosed with cancer at five, Tyler couldn’t bear to watch him suffer.

He left for deployment in Afghanistan, unable to face the pain.

When their son died in Emma’s arms, Tyler wasn’t there.

He never came back.

They divorced.

Now, Tyler is a mercenary and assassin, haunted by his guilt and failures.

Fate brought them together again during an extraction mission in Bangladesh.

But the pain and betrayal lingered.

Emma moved on, met Aryan during his surgical strike deployment, and fell in love.

Now, Aryan Shergill was her home, her everything.

But Tyler was still her ghost.

And the dead never stayed buried.
