In a city reduced to fire and ruin, betrayal has left Shadowblade-a deadly operative with a past shrouded in secrets-fighting alone. Her mission: break into the Novatek vault, where the world's most dangerous organization hides its darkest weapons and the names of those who wield them.
But survival becomes even more complicated when she crosses paths with a mysterious masked soldier: scarred, armored, and carrying a metal arm and a past he refuses to reveal. He should be her enemy. He might be her salvation.
Bound by necessity, the two form a reluctant partnership, their every step laced with distrust, smoldering attraction, and the constant threat of betrayal. As they battle mercenaries, drones, and the ghosts of their own histories, they uncover a conspiracy that stretches deeper than either imagined.
Enemies by nature. Partners by choice.
And maybe, against all odds, something more.
An action-thriller with searing romance, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers tension, and the high stakes of a world balanced on the edge of war.
Inspired by Marvel - Bucky Barnes
