A failed experiment with wings on her back, she's spent years trying to escape her past-avoiding old ghosts and building a wall between herself and the world. But when whispers of her dead teammates' resurrection reach her, and she's forced onto a team for a high-stakes mission, her carefully controlled life begins to spiral. The mission isn't just dangerous-it's personal. As secrets from her past resurface and her new team grows closer, Bentley must decide: will she risk trusting them? Especially him-a mysterious agent who seems to see right through her walls and into the wounds she's spent years hiding. But something bigger is coming, something that threatens to shatter everything she knows.
