Mark of Prudence

In the ash-scarred cities of Daros, Lieutenant Goran Minaret leads a squad sent to extract a compromised spy. The mission unravels into betrayal, moral compromise, and revelation: every command hides a secret. When the past returns through the haunted eyes of information specialist Zimmer Rogan, Goran must decide whether duty or mercy will define him. Mark of Prudence weaves the precision of military SF with the conscience of literary fiction—a story of loyalty, restraint, and the terrible wisdom that survival demands.
