Creatures of Habit

In the world beneath the world, there are no headlines. No witnesses. No trials.

Just bodies that disappear, names that get erased, and truths buried in concrete.

For decades, the global intelligence network waged its silent wars behind closed doors—agents sacrificed, alliances betrayed, operations scrubbed before breakfast. But every empire has rot. Every system has traitors.

And now, two governments—sworn enemies on paper—share a secret deeper than espionage. A black operation so dirty, even their own people weren’t supposed to know.

At the center of it all? A bioweapon designed to reset the world. A virus with surgical precision and global implications. And it went missing.

Not lost.

Stolen.

By the one woman they never expected to survive.

Natalia Stepanova—ex-CIA asset, ex-Spetsnaz, burned by both sides, left for dead and resurrected to the privacy of only a few who knew—crawled out of her own hiding and walked back into the shadow war. Under a new name. A new face. But the same rage.

And this time, she's not alone.

With a fugitive scientist, a rogue analyst, and a quiet town in Uruguay hiding a very loud secret—Natalia is ready to burn it all down.

One bullet at a time.
