He was born to kill. Now he's been given a second life, and all he wants is to live like an ordinary person. Unfortunately, the world has other plans.
In his previous life, Ethan Cole was one of the deadliest assassins in the world. Raised by a ruthless international syndicate, he knew nothing of childhood, friendship, or love. Every mission was a matter of survival, and freedom was something he had long since stopped believing in.
Then a mysterious encounter with a Phoenix changes everything.
Ethan awakens in 1991, thirteen years old again, with all the memories, instincts, and lethal skills of his former self intact. For the first time, he has a chance to choose his own future.
He makes himself a simple promise: no more killing unless he has absolutely no choice.
In Port Sterling, Ethan begins building the life he never had. He finds friendship, discovers the warmth of family, and grows close to two extraordinary girls, Claire Bennett and Sasha Reed. For a while, he almost believes his violent past is behind him.
But peace proves difficult for a man who knows how to survive anything.
As local g**g rivalries escalate into b****y power struggles, Ethan is drawn into a hidden world of Mafia empires, international assassins, secret organizations, and individuals with abilities that defy human understanding. Every attempt to protect his ordinary life brings him closer to the forces he once tried to escape.
And as the years pass, the greatest danger may come from something no amount of training can defeat: the possibility of losing the people he loves.
Spanning continents and more than two decades, The Second Life of Ethan Cole is an epic journey through crime, supernatural conspiracies, complicated relationships, and the consequences of extraordinary power.
Because for a man who has already died once, the hardest battle isn't staying alive.
It's learning how to live.
