Ida Barnes once believed the world could be saved with kindness. But when Hydra took everything from her, her memories, her family, her identity. She became a weapon, a shadow trained to destroy the people she once loved. Decades pass, and the world changes around her, yet Ida remains a ghost of herself, awakening only to obey orders. Then Steve Rogers finds her. To him, she is more than a target; she is the woman he loved, the sister of the man he loved like a brother, the nurse who once believed in saving people, the girl who smiled through fear. To her, he is a stranger, until fragments of her past start breaking through Hydra's walls. As memories resurface and trust is tested, Ida must confront the weapon she's become and the woman she used to be. In a world of heroes and monsters, she must choose whether to remain buried or finally come home. ---- Ида Евгения Барнс - i do not own the mcu or any characters within this book aside Ida.
