News of Hydra's infiltration spread through the headlines like a virus, reaching even the most remote of places. No one ever thought that S.H.I.E.L.D., a once world renowned government protection group, would become a crumbling pile of ash and glass. With the Winter Soldier now faded into the crowd, no one knows where he is, no one can find him. He's the ghost everyone thought was a myth. But when he finds himself on the shore of the bay, injured and alone, a woman finds it in herself to show him the mercy he deserved. But now the wanted fugitive, and the woman now tagged on as an accomplice, are both wanted by Hydra and previous S.H.I.E.L.D. officers seeking out revenge and the weapon they helped to build. The Winter Soldier will stop at nothing to find out the truth, who he was and save the life of the stranger.

Loki wasn't the only baby taken from Jotunheim, he wasn't the only child of Laufey taken to Asgard and raised next to Thor. Eirlys Odinsdottir. Loki's twin sister. Odin's beloved princess. The snowdrop of Asgard. And missing. As a small child Eirlys vanished from Asgard, leaving Loki without his other half, his twin, his partner in crime, his best friend. There was nothing for him to do. Now, centuries later, Loki is an Avengers, in a committed and healthy relationship, and is suffering through headaches and visions, like someone is trying to reach out to him. And he has no choice but to follow the clues. What he and the other Avengers find though, none of them were expecting. The North Star has a history with many of the Avengers: enemy, teacher, lover, sister. And they all agree on one thing; they must remove her from Hydra's hands.
