    Summary

    "Quod est inferius est sicut quod est superius."
    (Solve the riddle, decode the stars,
    seek the constellation where the hydra's daughter rests.)

    Lumen de tenebris. (Light from darkness.)

    She is a mind of fractured brilliance, daughter of two key Hydra figureheads. She sees the world in coded ciphers, in the spaces between truth and silence.
    He is Captain America. A man who thought the war was over. But war is a hydra: cut off one head, two whisper in the dark.

    When their paths collide, the past unfurls in riddles:

    Find the queen bound in stars.
    Follow the whispers of Κασσιόπεια.

    But some doors, once opened, cannot be closed.
    And some hearts, once touched, cannot forget.

    Mysterium tremendum. (The trembling mystery.)
    Will they solve it—or be consumed by it?

    The silence is lying.
    Are you listening?
