A year after the world was snapped back, Lena tries her best to adjust to being alive after five long years. She lives a simple life, trying to fill up the vacancy that her previous memories left. After the dust settled after the final battle against Thanos, Bucky struggled for months after to accept the fact that Lena is gone. So when he finds out that she's still alive, and that she may have never been snapped away like they both thought she was, he's determined to find the truth-and to get her back. Conspiracies, lies, betrayal-and maybe even love- is all that awaits these two as they seek to unfurl the secrets that changed the trajectory of their lives. ---- TRIGGER WARNING: This book has sexual content, violence, and depictions of torture.
