  Summary

  The deadliest threat comes from the shadows.

  A fresh trail of blood leads Task Force 141 back towards networks left behind after Verdansk — and back into the path of someone who was never supposed to be part of the hunt.
  She calls herself Night. She was never meant to be an asset. Capturing her was the easy part. Working out what to do with her is not.
  Interrogation becomes closer to negotiation. What begins as a manhunt becomes something murkier: Makarov's shadow, old allegiances resurfacing, history refusing to stay buried.

  This is not about redemption. It’s about deciding where the violence goes next.
