MI6 operative Elara "Phoenix" Mercer is used to dancing with death. When a series of precision assassinations targets former intelligence officers across Europe, she's tasked with tracking down the killer.

As bodies continue to drop, Elara forms an uneasy alliance with Marcus Reed, a CIA operative with his own agenda. Together, they follow a trail of breadcrumbs through the underbelly of post-Soviet Europe-Prague's hidden networks, Istanbul's shadowy markets, and Moscow's frozen secrets. But with each revelation comes a new question: Why do her recurring nightmares feel connected to this mission? What connects these victims beyond their intelligence backgrounds? And why does the trail of evidence keep circling back to a classified Soviet program called "Prometheus"? With enemies hidden in plain sight and a bioweapon capable of targeted genocide about to be unleashed, Elara must confront not only external threats but the darkness in her own past. In a world where loyalty is currency and betrayal is an occupational hazard, the most dangerous secret may be the one buried in her own mind. Some protocols are written in shadow.
