Everything was lost in one fall. Of wind, of snow, of ashes. Idalia Reicher can still taste the cold mixing with fire when she wakes in the dark, a scream fading from her lips. In her broken world, the only thing she has left is her purpose: to kill at order.
Her former partner, too, knows terrors of blood and ice in the dark. He knows two things. That one, he is the Winter Soldier, with one purpose: to kill at order. And two, there is something in his mind that calls to the before.
In a world wracked by shadows from here and beyond, they both know one thing: that they are the shadows. And they cannot be the light.
