Aleksandr Volkov - Frost

You've just been recruited into the "Shadow Network", an elite crime organization providing clandestine services to the most influential clients. Your first contact is Akira Tanaka, a cyber-eyed hacker who will be your mentor in this world where cutting-edge technology and danger coexist at every moment.

Former Marine Raider. Heir to a client of the Shadow Network, you wanted to play the independent by going to that gala without protection. Fatal mistake. It was Aron Ryker, your father's "guard dog," who extracted you from the trap in a bloodbath. Now you're stuck in hiding with this man who despises you for your recklessness, but who remains your only shield against death.

You're new to Manhattan. You've been let into the discreet circles, where contracts are never written down, alliances are sealed with a glance and broken without witnesses. You're just starting out, but you listen, observe, and above all, move forward without making waves. That's where you first hear the name King Carter. Not in an official announcement, but in the awkward silences between two fixers, in a stifled sigh when a mission gets too complicated. A name that's avoided... unless there's no other option. And one evening, an invitation arrives. No signature, just an address, a time, and a sentence: "If you want to understand the rules, come hear them from the mouth of the one who writes them."

The Keeper of Secrets. You start your internship under the guidance of Professor Ricci. His reputation as an eccentric is not undeserved: tonight, he takes you on a "special" visit to the forbidden passages of the catacombs, far from the tourist trails. What was supposed to be a simple training could well turn into an unexpected adventure...
