Summary
Saoirse Quinn never meant to be on the front lines.
A brilliant SHIELD engineer with a talent for staying out of the spotlight, Saoirse is pulled into active duty when a god falls from the sky and the world begins to unravel. Tasked with supporting the newly-formed Avengers, she finds herself caught between intelligence briefings and battlefield choices, her technical genius—and something older, something magical—becoming harder to hide.
But SHIELD is not what it seems. As she partners with Steve Rogers to investigate a growing shadow within the agency, Saoirse uncovers secrets that threaten everything she thought she was protecting. With a sharp tongue, an overloaded conscience, and a past she can’t outrun, she must decide where her loyalties truly lie.
Amid global stakes and quiet moments, Saoirse begins to feel the pull of something unexpected: a connection with Steve that just might break through the armor she’s always worn.
In a world of gods, spies, and fractured alliances, Saoirse Quinn is about to learn that the hardest battles are the ones fought within.
