Nadine Walnut had a talent for finding chaos where none existed. As a sergeant in a covert platoon cloaked in secrecy, her rank was a mystery, and her presence endured rather than embraced. Known for her sharp words and sharper actions, Nadine thrived on conflict, fanning the flames of discord wherever she went. But when her meddling ways catch up to her in a harrowing encounter on a lonely highway, Nadine is forced to confront the shadows of her own making. Dragged into the darkness by figures from her past, Nadine is left to reckon with the weight of her actions and the toll they’ve taken on others—and herself. Stripped of her sharp edges and veiled arrogance, she returns to the world as a woman changed, her transformation as unsettling as the silence she now carries.
