THE BULLET OR THE BLADE || LEON S. KENNEDY x FMC
Book 2 of 2: The Ashes Between Us
"If she hates me, at least that means she's alive." -Leon S. Kennedy
Even six years after Raccoon City, the past refuses to stay buried in the rubble of the airstrike.
Federal Agent Leon S. Kennedy is sent on a high-profile extraction mission to a remote village in Spain- one that spirals into something far more sinister. The infection is different... the rules have changed. And survival once again demands impossible choices.

"Six years ago, we survived the end of the world. That didn't mean we survived each other." -Natalie Stark
Natalie Stark never expected their paths to cross again.
Still bearing the scars of Raccoon City and the ear-numbing silence that followed, DAIC Field Operative Natalie Stark is drawn into the fray from a different angle, fighting a battle that threatens her body as much as her trauma-ridden mind. As Las Plagas tightens its grip, old wounds reopen and unresolved history resurfaces.

They are no longer the people they once were... the 20-year-old rookie cop, or the criminal justice prodigy cut short.
And survival may demand more than either of them is willing to give.
Set during the events of the Resident Evil 4 Remake, 'The Bullet or the Blade' is a slow-burn, angst-driven continuation of 'Saudade': exploring fractured trust, emotional distance... and the thin line between protecting someone and losing yourself.
