Ashes Before Dawn

The Raccoon City outbreak should have ended everything.

Instead, it became the beginning.

After surviving the nightmare that consumed the city, rookie officer Leon S. Kennedy is offered a second chance alongside S.T.A.R.S. veterans Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine. Haunted by betrayal and determined to protect what remains, Chris sees only another unfortunate rookie. Leon sees heroes he hopes to become.

But when a mysterious woman enters Leon's life, old wounds begin to reopen, loyalties are tested, and one mistake threatens to destroy the fragile trust holding everyone together.

As secrets buried beneath Umbrella rise to the surface, Chris must decide whether history is repeating itself... or whether he's about to lose another partner to the same darkness that took Albert Wesker.

An alternate retelling of Resident Evil 2 that bridges the gap toward Resident Evil 4.
