Aloof, solitary, and pragmatic, Yovana has spent the last several years of her life cradled by shadows. To her, it’s where she belongs. However, the limelight’s about to be on her again- and not in the way she expects or is prepared for.

Ten years ago, Yovana Durand was a senior member in a budding vigilante group, accompanied by other teenage misfit idealists. There, she formed close bonds with other aspiring heroes, including the quiet and reserved Cassian. Their solidarity was short lived. A sudden and mysterious event rendered several members of the group missing or dead- and Yovana was once again left alone in a world that considered her a black sheep.

Not far from her adolescent roots, adult Yovana is a private investigator, the city’s trusted woman for exposing dirt that lives in the dark. Her routine work is interrupted one day when an opportunistic statesman requests she take a lead on something outside the norm- exposing the workings of a world-class secret society incubating much of the world’s rot. Yovana is rarely one to turn down a paycheck, even if she thinks it’s a dead end. However, her hopes of keeping her hands clean are dashed the moment she stumbles into a truth she wasn’t expecting to find. One that’s more familiar than Yovana likes, and one that wears a static golden smile and taunts her with the safety and stability of her past.
