"That mistake led to Chloe and me getting gas poisoning. I was lucky to wake up in a haze and managed to carry my unconscious daughter out of there. "Chloe could've been saved, but Sheila had to play hero for her sniffly boyfriend, Jeff. She blocked the ambulance with her car and wouldn't let it pass."

Then, after a breath, colder still. “And that woman. Bring Lily Hart to me.” I didn’t look back. The moment the car door closed, the soundproof glass shut out every voice behind us.

On New Year’s Eve, Kian Newman never came home. Instead, he had someone deliver a container of frozen ravioli and sent me a single message: "Stay safe this year." I had barely locked the screen when a photo popped up in the company group chat. Isabel Wilkinson, Kian's assistant, had posted it. It was a lavish holiday dinner spread across the table, every dish clearly homemade. The caption read: "Someone spent all day cooking so I could have a taste of home. Love you."

The map shifted north, illuminating a sprawling, frozen expanse. "Sector Volga, Russia," Kara continued, a shiver running down her spine. "The environmental warfare division. They weaponize the climate. They use cold-fusion tech and heavy, brutalist armor. Their local Admin relies on attrition—freezing their enemies out before firing a single shot." Finally, Kara zoomed in on the largest, brightest, and most terrifying dot on the map. It sat squarely in the center of the irradiated deserts of the North American continent.

And it was amusing how his ears turned red as he gave me a vague shrug. “I mindlinked Noah to send stuff over.” “Oh,” I nodded. “So, why is that forbidden territory?” “You are not letting go of that, are you?” “No,” Asher sighed, then took a long sip of his beer. “Well, around thirty-four years ago, the Cold War took place at the exact same place,” I blinked, realization crawling upon me. Cold War…it was mentioned in that diary. “There was mention of it in one of those old books Cora gave me. But just a mention, because the pages that followed after, were all torn,” I said.

The air was frigid, smelling of rusted iron, stale nuclear fuel, and the copper tang of ancient blood. Below us lay a massive, black-water port, carved directly from the Arctic ice. And floating in that sepulchral darkness, like the fossilized ribs of forgotten gods, were three colossal, Typhoon-class nuclear submarines. These Cold War leviathans, once designed to end the world with fire, were now being used to end it with shadow. There were no Silver Order soldiers patrolling the gantries. No engineers rushing between the subs. The cavern was dead silent. Yet, the First Crown hummed a violent, screaming warning in my mind. The Void within me throbbed in synchronization with something malevo

if you are willing to kill enough people and you have. "Iskender, where are you going to get the army to move in once the Chinese take your kick to the testicles?" He liked that analogy. "We've been stockpiling gear since before the end of the Cold War," he blithely revealed to me. I had no doubt that the permission to give me this information came all the way from the top, but why? I'd let Pamela and Katrina figure that one out. They were smarter than me. "You would be surprised what the Soviets misplaced.

"Fenrir Division. Circa 1950." "The Council has been here before," Finch said, appearing from the shadows like a ghost. He adjusted his glasses. "During the Cold War. They tried to build a weather station. A way to control the storms." Grog pulled a metal briefcase from the skeleton's grip. It was rusted shut. Jack touched the lock. Rust. The lock disintegrated. Jack opened the case. Inside, protected by wax paper, was a file. TOP SECRET. PROJECT: BOREALIS.

The blizzard was a white wall of rage as the blacked-out snow vehicle crept up the mountainside. Site 6 was buried beneath layers of Siberian ice, a forgotten relic of the Cold War now repurposed for something even darker. Sophia sat beside Rafael in the back of the armored crawler, her breath fogging in the freezing air. She wore insulated tactical gear, a pistol at her thigh, and a serrated blade at her hip. But it wasn’t the cold or the looming danger that chilled her. It was the silence. The stillness before an unseen storm.

I woke up the next day feeling cold. Marco poured a bucket of cold water on me. "Aren't you supposed to be awake by now?" He asked. I lifted my body and tried to stand up. "What do you want?"
