In this sequel to Old Soul, the stakes are raised and the war is waging. The one thing keeping the battle at bay is Avalie Daniels, who has more influence over Hydra than she thinks. However, she can't do anything if she's dying. Mysteriously unable to heal, Hydra stays neutral. If she heals, the fighting begins. Avalie faces a choice. She either sacrifices herself and saves S.H.I.E.L.D. and her Captain-who remains in confinement-or she heals and attempts to save the war before the first battle can start. In the midst of her decision, she is on the journey that caused Steve to end up captured in the first place: what is Avalie Daniels? Could she be an experiment like Hydras decoys, or could she have been born with it? The truth lies within her DNA and her past. But her choice lies within her own powers, which can only be answered by the years beyond.

When Avalie Daniels moved to New York City, she was nothing but a slightly old-fashioned girl with a knack for technology. She had a job, a best friend, a new apartment. And, once she moved in, she learned that she had a new handsome neighbor as well. Everything was perfect, just as she had always planned. But one night, when the sound of gunfire pulls her from her sleep, she realizes that things aren't as perfect as she had believed. Her neighbor is more than Steve Rogers--he is Captain America. And as it turns out, she is more than Avalie Daniels--she is Hydra's next target. In a crazy sequence of events, Avalie learns that maybe there's more to her old soul than she had thought.
