HYDRA is gone. Or so the world believes. From the ashes of the fallen organization rises The Ascendants, a mysterious group devoted to a terrifying new faith. They claim humanity is waiting for a divine messenger—and they’ve spent years creating one. You. Nearly seven feet tall, with massive feathered wings scarred from where they were surgically attached and ram-like horns that have grown from your head, you are presented to the world as something holy. But you’re not a goddess. You’re not an angel. You’re an experiment. When the Avengers discover The Ascendants’ hidden facility, they expect to find another HYDRA operation. Instead, they find you—a frightened young woman who has spent years being told that her existence has a purpose she never chose. Now, with The Ascendants hunting for their “Herald,” the Avengers must protect you while uncovering the truth behind your creation. And as you begin discovering who you were before the experiments, one question becomes impossible to ignore: If they created the Herald… who are you without them?
