Taking on the patriarchy, one evil man at a time
Silent Voices, Relentless Justice – Volume 6
Nicole Walters—Nikki—grew up near Cosby, Tennessee, where service wasn’t just respected—it was expected. Her father and three older brothers were all Marines. By the time she was five, she had her first rifle. By eight, she could track, shoot, and field dress a full-grown buck without flinching. Her future was clear: become an elite sniper, make a career in the Corps, and serve with honor.
But one act of betrayal by someone in command changed everything.
She left the Marines without explanation and returned to Tennessee—adrift, silent, and carrying wounds she never named.
She couldn’t tell her family—not when they wore the same uniform.
Not when speaking the truth would mean betraying everything they believed in.
Then came the call from the Circle.
They didn’t need a sniper. They needed someone who could move unseen, train working dogs, and slip between shadows without leaving a trace. Nikki said yes. It gave her something to focus on. Something to fight for.
But when her mission unearthed something personal, the recoil didn’t come from a rifle—it came from within.
And when she went off script, she wasn’t sure if the Circle would bring her back… or cut her loose.
She had her whole life planned.
Now she’s rebuilding from the recoil.
