Sofiya Rostova was raised to be a weapon. Taken by the Red Room as a child, she spent years learning how to fight, obey, and survive. She never learned how to be a daughter. Or a friend. Or a normal teenager. Then Natasha Romanoff found her. Rescued from the only life she'd ever known, Sofiya is thrown into a world she doesn't understand-a world of Avengers, family dinners, school assignments, movie nights, and people who care about her for reasons she can't comprehend. As she slowly learns how to live instead of simply survive, Sofiya discovers that becoming human is far more difficult than becoming a weapon ever was. And somewhere along the way, a boy named Peter Parker begins to show her that life might be worth living after all. Black Widow. Avenger. Daughter. Friend.
