No one knows her name. No one remembers the program.
Fifteen years ago, Project NOVA burned itself out of existence - a covert military experiment designed to create perfect human operatives through psychological conditioning, sensory deprivation, and combat reprogramming. Every file was erased. Every scientist buried. Every subject presumed dead.
But one lived.
Now, the woman known only as Nova moves through the world like a ghost - a silent weapon-for-hire with no allegiance, no past, and no record. Her efficiency is legendary; her detachment, absolute. To most agencies, she's an asset. To others, a rumor.
When a classified threat surfaces - something tied to the same black-ops labs that built her - the elite strike team ONYX is ordered to bring her in as a consultant.
The men of ONYX - Commander Asher Vale, sharpshooter Reid Hawthorne, tech specialist Kade Mercer, and demolitions expert Silas Ward - have spent years surviving on trust, instinct, and brotherhood. They follow orders. They don't take risks. And they definitely don't work with outsiders.
Until she walks in.
Nova becomes the team's greatest weapon and deepest fracture. Her presence ignites suspicion, desire, and a quiet terror that none of them can name - because the more they uncover about her, the clearer it becomes:
Project NOVA never ended.
It evolved. It's watching.
And she isn't just their newest operative.
She's the reason they were assembled in the first place.
