In this prequel to Cosas Pendientes, the soul behind the mission is forged in fire. Before Alma became a weapon, she was Muñeca-a child with a name, a family, and a future. That all vanished the night the fire consumed her home. Aero called it fate. She called it silence. At twelve, she was reborn in the hands of an agency that doesn't believe in coincidence. Given a new name and a new purpose, Alma was trained to forget. But memory has a way of surviving in the shadows. As Alma begins to unravel the origins of her identity and the fragile peace between the agencies Aero and Onyx, she must confront the possibility that her entire life was orchestrated by the very people who claimed to save her. This is the story of how betrayal begins. How a soul is stolen. How Cosas Malas were set in motion. Cover art by @for3verain
