Résumé :

Meloni, masked and elusive, navigates the treacherous remnants of a fallen city. From the heights of a shattered skyscraper, she descends into a mercenary encampment on a perilous operation to locate her captured brother. Known as a spectral presence who leaves no trace nor spends a bullet, she is one step ahead of danger - except for the infamous Scorpion, a mercenary legend whose name whispers death.

Her mission is complicated when an enigmatic medic with a questionable past emerges from the same camp she infiltrates, seeking her protection and offering double her rate for safe passage. As they journey through hostile territories, a reluctant partnership forms, tinged with mutual attraction and mistrust. With every step, Meloni faces the ruins of her own defenses, even as she fortifies her resolve to save her brother and unmask the truths hidden in a world where trust is a scarce commodity.

Meloni must navigate the thin lines between ally and enemy, savior and survivor. As she grapples with her fears and doubts, she's drawn into a web of warfare and deceit that threatens to consume her. With the medic at her side and a trail of questions, Meloni's quest to reunite with her brother spirals into a fight for justice against the tyranny of the largest militant force in the new world order.
