Ashlyn Knight. Vigilante hero and one of the 8 Winter Soldiers, she struggles with an elusive past and haunting nightmares.
Battling amnesia, PTSD and a whole new level of weird, Ash has to fight to stay afloat. A man back from the dead, a friend she can't remember and only a few clues to work with.
Ash will find out what it really means to be a soldier for good and how much the bad can haunt you. Not for a second will she forget that once you are a soldier there is no going back.
"She remembered her time in the Red Room. She remembered the grace, the beauty and the pain. She could feel the long forgotten strains of music resonating through her. As she walked into the abandoned dance studio with its dusty walls and arching ceilings, with the long mirrors and muted rays of light floating through the cracked roof, she remembered. She remembered who she was. A Winter Soldier. A master assassin. It wasn't what she did, it was who she was."
