They were forged in fire-raised in shadows. Two young operatives, conditioned side by side in the isolated forests of Wyoming under the ruthless guidance of John Garrett. Grant Ward and Valeria Kreuz-two weapons, primed to infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D. and execute HYDRA's long game from the inside.
But Val isn't just another ghost in HYDRA's files. She's the orphaned daughter of S.H.I.E.L.D. legends-agents whose deaths in Bahrain were ruled a tragic accident, erased from history by Melinda May's classified report. Now, Valeria wears a different mask, a different allegiance... and a war is brewing behind her eyes.
As S.H.I.E.L.D. hunts down enemies they don't yet know walk among them, Grant and Valeria must juggle double lives, a dangerous past, and an attraction as volatile as the missions they undertake. Loyalties blur, secrets unravel-and when the walls come crashing down, neither side will emerge unscathed.
This is the beginning of the end.
This is Operation: Black Vow.
