Part two of the Beyond the Fire series. At the age of ten Nicole Shepard was raised to be a killer by Cerberus. Years later she'd managed to move on; but when she dies, they're the ones who bring her back. Can Nicole Shepard be the hero the galaxy needs? Or is she the monster she's afraid she's become? DR will retell and modify the events of ME2, with a femShep/Liara romance.
