Devoured by his own grief and guilt he becomes a shadow in the night, determined to reveal the line between right and wrong has faded. For two years he trains to become the greatest warrior in the country. Using only his fists, feet and blades he hardens his body.

A captain driven by the ghost of his late, deeply religious father is pitted against the young man that slipped through his fingers. While dividing his attention between a program to reintegrate youngsters who were brainwashed to fit into society, and the hunt for a rogue killer the captain finds himself under increasing pressure. Facing a ruthless killer in a struggle at night and his younger brother during the day.
A spy from Great Britain posing as a student with a shared past with the killer joins the lone warrior, against a regime helped into power by the international community to rid the world of religious extremism. The spy slips deeper into the shadow that is Silhouette and is forced to watch more men die horrible deaths than he ever has in his military past. Constantly questioning what is acceptable and what is not.
A sensei befriends the most dangerous warrior he has ever had the privilege of meeting and expands the shadow's knowledge and skills. Fulfilling a destiny long foretold.
As the shadow darkens the greyness that is society is driven back by the righteous, bloody horror the two killers subject the police and military to. As the pyramid of the government is destroyed from the bottom up it is only a matter of time until it all comes crashing down. All the while the question is asked; what is right, and what is wrong? A Nation falls, an ocean of blood is spilled and a legend is born. Silhouette.
