Join Marvel’s breakout super spy, Yelena Belova AKA the White Widow, in a new YA espionage adventure.

On a top secret mission, top spy Yelena Belova discovers something very familiar about her next target.

Yelena is used to the brutal, cutthroat world of the Red Room—the elite, mysterious spy-training facility that raised her. But when her handlers send her on a top secret mission to the US—what they call “the American Outpost”—she finds barely capable girls who can’t even take a punch. Yelena doesn’t make many friends, but the freedom Americans enjoy gives her a glimpse of what her life could be—if she could ever escape the Red Room.
Then her mission goes terribly wrong. Now she’s on the run with an orphaned eight-year-old. It’s a deadly road trip of self-discovery, as Yelena outruns her past and struggles to save a girl who reminds Yelena of her younger self—a girl whose shocking origin ties her fate inextricably to Yelena’s.
Born in a mountain cabin to a punk rocker mother, Tess Sharpe grew up in rural California. She is the author of bestselling and award-winning fiction for kids, teens and adults. She lives deep in the backwoods with a pack of dogs and a growing cabal of slightly feral cats. View titles by Tess Sharpe
"An exciting chronicle that will please fans of the Marvel Comics and Marvel Cinematic Universe character and a fun spy thriller that’s accessible to readers who are unfamiliar with her story....A gripping read with broad appeal." —Kirkus Reviews
