Kira Winters remembers fragments of the night that changed everything, a van in the darkness, a forest shrouded in fog, screaming that still echoes in her nightmares, and a boy being dragged away into the shadows. She was only three years old when the Falcons kidnapped her, but the Network saved her and gave her a home, a family, and a purpose that's defined her life ever since. Now thirteen, Kira is one of the Network's most promising young operatives, sharp, skilled, and fiercely loyal to the organization that gave her everything. The Network and the Falcons have been locked in a brutal war for decades, a battle between light and darkness, good and pure evil. The Network stands for justice and protection. The Falcons are ruthless and driven by a darkness that seeks only to destroy and corrupt. Kira has never fought alone. Her team has become her family, Finn, Nadia, Asher, Ethan, Iris, and Zara, who shares a connection with her that runs deeper than either of them expected. But when a mission goes catastrophically wrong and she comes face-to-face with a Falcon operative who looks disturbingly familiar, the fragments she's buried start piecing themselves together. Memories become sharper, revealing details she never understood. Missions are becoming more dangerous. The bonds between her team are being strained by pressures she doesn't fully understand. The Falcons are more dangerous than she ever realized, and the war is about to become deeply personal. Because in a cosmic battle between light and shadow that's been raging for generations, the stakes are higher than she ever imagined, and the cost of losing could be her soul and everything she holds dear. A battle for every soul, every heart, and everything worth fighting for.

"Oh. Milady Ashton, are you going to the ball for King Peter." The young centaur shyly asked Ashton. Ashton crouched down next to her, meeting her eye level with a friendly smile, "I'm afraid I don't know what you mean, little one." "You know... The ball thing... Mommy told me it was the King's opportunity to woo a lady of Narnia." She explains with her limited vocabulary and a small lisp. "A courting ball?" Ben asks the little one. "That's it!" She exclaims, "Are you going?" "I guess we will see, we haven't been back to the castle since the war," Ashton tells the five-year-old, sugarcoating her response to avoid disappointing the child. "Ohh." She nodded before leaning down to Ash to whisper in her ear, "My father told me stories from the war, of course not the stories with too much fighting, but he mentioned the greatness of the prophesied. You were always my favorite." She giggles. Ash didn't know what to say as the little centaur bounced away. She stood from the party, needing a minute outside. Edmund followed her after her, wanting to help his dear friend with the news. "Ash, I'm sure there's an explanation." "Yes, a simple one Ed. I left. Your brother owes me nothing. It is his choice. If he wants every spoiled, perfect, primitive, self-centered princess within a hundred miles lining up at his feet. That is his choice and does not concern me." Ashton admits, more negatively than she intended. "This is not going to end well." Ben comments, openly. ╣╠ Ashton returns to Cair Paravel and it is clear that in the two years she spent away, much has changed. ╣╠ Multiple POV ╣╠ Story intertwined with the golden ages after The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe by C.
