Some missions begin with orders. Others begin with silence and a knife in the dark.
Martha Delgado never believed in heroes. Smuggler, scout, survivor — she's spent years carrying secrets across borders that don't exist on maps. But now, in the glacial shadows of Mount Blackburn, she's sent on a mission even her past can't prepare her for: sabotage an Axis zeppelin before it disappears into the clouds — and into history. The stakes? A secret alliance that could rewrite the balance of power... and a truth buried deep beneath America's neutral silence.
As the Rangers brave ice, wind, and betrayal, Delgado uncovers something unexpected aboard the airship — a familiar face from Washington, carrying a sealed message not meant to exist. What begins as sabotage quickly spirals into conspiracy, and the only way out is through fire and snow.
Set in an alternate history where the United States watches the world burn from afar, Operation Lanternwood blends war thriller, wilderness noir, and cold war paranoia into a single breathless mission. When silence becomes strategy — and loyalty becomes a lie — how far will one woman go to make sure the truth survives?
The third installment of The Wyoming Accord, a tense, cinematic series where hidden wars are fought beneath flags that no longer mean what they once did.
Step into the frost — and uncover what was never meant to be found.
