  Summary

  Before she was a surgeon in London, Claire belonged to the Red Room. She was the one who held the scalpel, the one little girls saw as the Devil, even with their ages being the same.
  Several years later, Natasha and Yelena walk back into her life and ask for her help to destroy the empire she helped build. The one she thought the wind dismantled and carried far, far away.

  The past is not as buried as Claire thought. And some ghosts don't stay dead for long.
